I tried to symlink it from my own ~/bin directory (which is in my path),
and that seems to work. So we can try that. I'm not sure how gcc decides
which libraries to use, and I'm sure I don't want to know. But we might
want to keep this in mind in case we have more gcc versions installed and
the symlinks mess things up. [The failure mode I'm alluding to is getting
one gcc's libraries linked against code compiled with another]

But for now it seems using a symlink should work. At least I'm not aware of
anyone running gcc not through the makefiles or via $PATH.

Yes, that works well (at least choosing c=ccc in our makefiles does),
thanks.
