or always use gcc2.
Did you miss not being able to do that on Haiku? I didn't. If anybody
wants to add extra symlinks, feel free to update the recipes and rebuild
the primary gcc packages. Please stick to the already used naming
convention, though, i.e. "gcc-<arch>", where <arch> is the name of the
packaging architecture (i.e. "x86" for x86 gcc 4, "x86_gcc2" for x86 gcc
2, and "x86_64" for x86-64).
Regarding `setgcc`, that's somewhere on my TODO list, though not top
priority (hint!). Given that using the CC and CXX environment variables is
a relatively common, but not ubiquitous convention, I would rather use the
method Oliver suggested, i.e. adjust PATH. Consequently I would probably
name the beast `setarch`. Obviously it either has to be a shell function
or start a new shell. In the latter case it would behave similar to
`linux32`, i.e. could be `exit`'ed.
