It is not a bug. The information you apparently miss is that /usr/bin/gcc points to the system's default compiler, it is not user-definable for reasons discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/112887 and a slew of similiar bug reports. Since you noticed the change of the default compiler I figure you are using a development version of Debian like testing or unstable.
