I use GCC for compiling C/C++ programs only, so that
is all the testing I have done so far.
As reported by Theirry Felt (in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-05/msg02554.html), I
had to manually adjust the links that the Mandrake
installation had for gcc/g++ (located in /usr/bin) to
point to the new (normal) location for gcc/g++.  I
imagine I would have had to do the same for the links
for other gcc-supported language compilers if I wanted
to use them (Mandrake 8.1 by default gives an
additional layer of indirection:  for example, the
original link to g++ was /usr/bin/g++ ->
/etc/alternative/g++ -> /usr/bin/g++-2.96).
Also, the only programs I tried to run after compiling
them with gcc 3.1 (C++ programs) would initially fail
with the message:
[shep@shep cpp]$ ./prog
./prog: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
I presume there is an environment variable for this or
something, but I don't know what it is; so I copied
the link to libstdc++.so.4 from /usr/local/lib to
/usr/lib, which made things run fine.

Thanks for all your good work, GCC team!
