The gccinstall info says that `make uninstall' would open a can of worms. I don't get it. Why?
The same paragraph gives one explanation. Gcc includes shared libraries. If you uninstall a copy of gcc, then everything compiled with that gcc will suddenly stop working (ignoring -static for the moment), which is bad. There are also other possible problems.
