Description walt 2002-06-09 00:45:02 UTC

The ebuild for gcc-2.95.3 has a link from /usr/bin/gcc to
/usr/bin/i586-pc-linux-gnu-gcc, however it is missing the
parallel link from g++ to i586-pc-linux-gnu-g++.

This is probably only important to people like me who
upgrade to gcc3.1 and then convert back to gcc2.95.

The problem is that packages that use g++ get compiled
with /usr/bin/i586-pc-linux-gnu-g++ which still points
to g++3.1 because the ebuild for gcc2.95 never overwrote
it when it got re-installed.

One of the alsa packages failed to configure properly
because of this problem, and it was tricky to diagnose.
