Ok, that is a nice design :).
The only thing that is a bit unclear to me is how
you will make it use the correct shared libraries
at run time, of an executable compiled like that.
Essentially this problem is new since egcs is
including shared libraries in the package, and
thus the shared library version becomes a part
of the version of egcs.
The same problem (will) occur when the -V option
is used. You should at least wait till H.J.
added his patches to rename these shared libraries
to something that includes the version of the
compiler I think.
Apart from that, it would have a logical `feel'
if it was possible to use the -V option for this,
ie:
gcc -V 2.7.2.3 ...
gcc -V 2.8.1 ...
gcc -V 2.91.45 ...
gcc -V built ...
Or something similar, where `gcc' would be just
/usr/bin/gcc (some (old) egcs version).
