Changing from gcc/g++-3.3 to 3.4 on Warty

[Charlie Zender]

Hi,

I am running Warty Warthog on a pentium 4 laptop.
I want to change my default compiler (the one I use to compile
my userland C/C++ programs) from gcc/g++-3.3 to gcc/g++-3.4.
I installed the appropriate packages gcc/g++-3.4 packages.
Now I want to change all the generic links so that e.g.,
/usr/bin/gcc points to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 instead of /usr/bin/gcc-3.3.

There are many such links so I was wondering, is there an automated
way to do this? If not, it would be helpful if this capability were
added to the dpkg-reconfigure capability of gcc/g++ packages, i.e.,
have the package ask during install if you wish them to be the default
compiler. Doing it by hand seems prone to error and hard to reverse.

Thanks,
Charlie
