Yes, please - it will make life much easier if the name 'gcc' chooses the
compiler of choice. For that matter, you can set up alternatives so that
for now, gcc-3 (or gcc3, for similarity to gcc4?) has higher priority than
gcc4, but after the experimental phase ends, the new gcc4 installation is
given higher priority than gcc-3 with no further change to gcc-3.
