gcc chooses it's libs through compiled-in paths and the dynamic linker,
I believe.  Gentoo's gcc-config program configured /etc/ld.so.conf
according to which version of gcc has been selected.  It also configures
/etc/profile.env or something-or-another that gets sourced by users from
the system defaults.

If anyone is using tcsh, has not messed with their PATH, and still has
trouble with gcc, please let me know.
