Updating the source tree does certainly not change the installed compiler.
Nor does anything you can do with the build system, save for actually
installing a new Haiku over your old one.

We do have a version check for gcc 2. It was intentionally omitted for the
experimental gcc 4 to avoid annoying developers unnecessarily. We could
maybe make that a warning. Anyway, it wouldn't have helped in this case
though, since installing a compiler not matching the OS (however that was
done) simply results in a broken compiler. That doesn't really have
anything to do Haiku's build system.
