Interesting, On my box ....
[root@vlad andrew]# ls -al /etc/alternatives/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 1 06:17 /etc/alternatives/gcc->
/usr/bin/gcc-3.2*
and
[root@vlad andrew]# urpmf /usr/bin/gcc
gcc:/usr/bin/gcc-3.2
gcc:/usr/bin/gcc3.2-version
gcc2.96:/usr/bin/gcc-2.96
gcc2.96:/usr/bin/gcc2-version
so I'd say theres a script in the gcc packages to setup the symlnks and allow
multiple gcc's to be used on the same box (on via $path and the other
explicitly)
try going into usr bin and running the command ./gcc and see what you get
