With these symlinks installed and ccontrol in your path running gcc-4.2,
may NOT give you version 4.2 of the compiler.

This is due the the design and implementation of ccontrol. A resonable
amount of work would need to be done to ccontrol to make this work as
explected. In the mean time I request that these symlinks are removed
from the package. I have included a stab at a patch to do this.
