Bug#317698: please add update-alternatives support to gcc packages

[Itai Seggev <is+debian@cs.hmc.edu>]

Package: gcc
Version: 4:4.0.0-1
Severity: wishlist

It is a sad but true fact that some people write silly make files which

gcc version. It would be nice if gcc were integrated into the
update-alternatives system, so that one could override the default gcc
