  Nah.  It got confused by whatever links you made.  Instead, take a look at
the attached scripts; they use the alternatives system to switch your default
gcc compiler between gcc-3 and gcc-4 transparently.

    cheers,

#!/bin/bash

# We only switch the alternatives that exist for both compilers;
# gdc, gpc, g77 and gfortran never get switched.

for x in gcc g++ gcj gnat ; do
  /usr/sbin/alternatives --set $x /usr/bin/$x-3.exe
done

#!/bin/bash

# We only switch the alternatives that exist for both compilers;
# gdc, gpc, g77 and gfortran never get switched.

for x in gcc g++ gcj gnat ; do
  /usr/sbin/alternatives --set $x /usr/bin/$x-4.exe
done
