Bug#154525: g++-3.0: c++ symlink and alternatives are not created when installing

[Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>]

reassign 154525 gcc

thanks

gcc-3.0/g++-3.0 doesn't use alternatives to make sure that the
preferred system compiler is used when calling 'gcc'. If you want to
test gcc-3.0/g++-3.0 for a particular package,

- use CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 when configuring/compiling a package

- make ~<user>/bin/gcc a symlink to gcc-3.0 and add it to your path
