Hey Stephen! The version of gcc I'm using is actually 5.2.0 and I don't think the OS is configured incorrectly, that's just how TC was designed to run. Instead of installing packages in a traditional means like Debian, TC uses squashfs files and symlinks its contents to the /usr/local/ area of the system. I haven't had any issues with compiling other software, just the BB source. Thanks for the info though!
