Your fixup might give a clue as to how it got the wrong permissions: you've just broken your gcc-4.8 which ought to be executable by all (as should everything in /usr/bin). lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 25 2015 gcc -> gcc-4.9* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 715448 Dec 20 2014 gcc-4.8* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 806344 Feb 10 18:17 gcc-4.9* Cheers, David.
