As an aside, has gcc already moved to /usr/bin?
One nagging thought about moving the compilers to /usr/bin is that it
seems to give a level of precedence to the GNU compilers and tools that
is higher than we offer for our *own* tools (Studio).
I.e. if gdb and gcc are in /usr/bin, then why not dbx and cc?
I realize that this may not be the place to fully explore the idea of
bundling Studio, but I'd hate for other parties to miscontrue this
action as meaning our own Studio tools were "2nd class" on Solaris systems.
