Better associating the headers with each GCC release sounds like a fine idea. I am a little concerned about placing the G++ headers with the "fixed" system headers and support files. That location contains target-dependent data, so it precludes sharing the common headers among targets. I can sympathize that another target-triplet/version directory hierachy would be cumbersome if the version is not sufficient. I worry that the headers will be hard to find and browse; it almost seems like the headers are being hidden. Maybe a symbolic link from $prefix/include could be provided for the latest installation?
