Good question, and I hope somebody else can improve my response.
I didn't find a gcc switching tool like I've used in the distant past,
so I went to /usr/bin, did an 'ls -l gc*' and noted that gcc and
something else (gcov?) pointed to the gcc-4.4 versions.  There were
also gcc-4.3 versions, so I just did

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm gcc gcov
sudo ln -s gcc-4.3 gcc
sudo ln -s gcov-4.3 gcov


The problem is that then Sage dies with some make error [255] in
the Atlas build, and rather than to keep mucking around with
earlier gcc versions I'm going to ping the pari mailing list.  The
raw pari.tar downloads show the same problems reproducibly,
so of course they should be made aware.  I also tried a bunch
of different -f flags on gcc-4.4 in the pari tar files and nothing
helped.
