   Can you give me some advice on how to modify the current

Apple has named them gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 so they don't collide
with our gcc packages. I would like to stress test these compilers
in the next few weeks.

From a cursory inspection, it looks like Fink just takes the system's default. Leopard doesn't have gcc_select, so use the attached with_gcc script. A la sudo, prefix any command you want to execute with "with_gcc" and it'll execute it in an environment in which not only does "gcc" point to 4.2, but gcc-4.0 does. For instance:

[Tue Dec 11 22:36:11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -v
...
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)
[Tue Dec 11 22:36:14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./with-gcc42 gcc -v
...
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5531)
[Tue Dec 11 22:36:17 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./with-gcc42 gcc-4.0 -v
...
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5531)

If you have the machine cycles to spare, buildfink is of course a great way to test this sort of thing.
