gcc-2/3 are using alternatives with default being gcc-2.96. So unless
you have taken special steps to screw up your installation you never
ever use gcc-3 by default.
{pts/1}% update-alternatives --display gcc
gcc - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/bin/colorgcc
/usr/bin/gcc-2.96 - priority 10
/usr/bin/colorgcc - priority 20
/usr/bin/gcc-3.0.2 - priority 5
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/colorgcc.
