Bug#207444: gcc-3.3: gcc version selection doesn't work as expected
Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.2-0pre1
Severity: normal
Hi there,
I only discovered recently that gcc has a '-V' argument to select the version
of the compiler to be used for compilation. It'd be great if the third command
listed here also worked. For the record I have gcc-2.95, gcc-3.0, gcc-3.2
and gcc-3.3 all installed. I'm filling this bug against gcc-3.3 as apparently
this feature is dependant on the last gcc version installed.
Thanks,
Anand
