It's not common to upgrade gcc without upgrading the entire distribution because everything on the system was built with the compliler included in the distribution. So, it's that version of shared object (.so) libraries that the applications try, and fail, to find. You could rebuild everything using the newer gcc version, but why bother upgrading in the first place? If your distribution is current the developers have tuned everything to work together.
