Package: gcc-3.4
Version: 3.4.1-5
Severity: minor
When installed on a system with no other C compilers installed the
gcc-3.4 package will not create an alternative for /usr/bin/cc, meaning
that things that rely on that being there won't work even though there
is in fact a C compiler installed.

X-Spam-Level:
/usr/share/doc/gcc/README.Debian.gz (gcc >= 4:4.0) now has a paragraph:
The symlinks in /usr/bin (gcc, g++, ...) are not handled using the
Debian alternative mechanism. There are differences in the
architecture specific ABI on some architectures and the C++ ABI
differs as well. Having the symlinks managed by alternatives doesn't
allow reliable builds with the same major/minor version of the
compiler. To use another compiler version, set the appropriate
environment variables as described above in the section "Practical
implications".
