I stand corrected. gcc is a very weird special case here; there are only a few packages that use the custom version feature of dpkg-gencontrol, and it's particularly rare to generate different version numbers on different architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I tried setting these in /etc/environment ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf # Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be preserved # by debconf. Instead, make changes before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # FOR localeconf" line, and/or after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR # localeconf" line. LANG=en_US ### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.2 GCC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.2 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-3.2 G++=/usr/bin/g++-3.2 GCJ=/usr/bin/gcj-3.2It did compile but I noticed that it still is using the 2.95.4 cpp-libs any ideas on how to clean that up. Is there anyone who know where this stuff is doccummented?? The help files in make config indicate that I will need these 3.20 updates to use the AMD athlon xp maximizations. it seems to me that there should be some examples as to what can be out into the /etc/environment file and the proper grammer to do it...but it is NOT well doccumented at all.
Thanks! John
