Not necessarily. It is possible to build an alternative GCC package using alternative executable names. For example, on Cygwin and Redhat, "gcc" is the standard compiler for the system, currently 3.x. Another command "gcc4" is provided for new compiler features, and a tool for the developers for making the source packages fully compatible with it. I guess that when all the source packages are be fixed, "gcc4" will be renamed "gcc", and it will become the official compiler for the system. This would probably be the best thing to do for SpareMiNT, too. Mark, you should try this for your upcoming GCC 4.x RPM ;-) -- Vincent Rivière
