Okay, I think the way to accomplish this feat is to echo Mandrake: Change all gcc ebuilds to build as gcc-${PV} using --program-suffix=${PV} (and installing into /usr/bin). Then have /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/g++, etc be symbolic links to the preferred (meaning most recently installed) binaries. I'm pretty sure this should work, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet. As a complete non-sequitar, need to check that our gcc ebuilds use --with-system-zlib to take are of the recent security debacle. This turned out to be a real pain. It's going to be easier to patch current packages to work w/ gcc3 instead. Expect a gcc3.1-enabled version of Gentoo soon. |
