--- Comment #10 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Michael Matz from comment #9)that it isn't anymore ;-) > > Well, too bad, I guess. I am not sure of the exact details but unless the path itself is hard-coded, you could always put a fake gcc, to be found in the path before the real gcc, that parses -V VERSION and calls the correct gcc. It should be a few lines of shell (or another scripting language). Another alternative is to make gcc a symlink to the actual gcc-VERSION. Yet another may be shell aliases, but I am not sure if that works for Makefiles. The -V switch was not working so it wouldn't have helped your user anyway.
