gcc 4.3.0 -- program search path issue

Hi Tom,

I have tried the way that you have about building gcc in a build
directory, but no luck.  I am not sure what's causing this issue.
Couple of months ago I built gcc 4.2.2 without any issues.  

Is there any other places I should do anything or/and make changes?

Yes, Imam, many times.  I have had as many as four versions of
gcc-x.y.z working in addition to the stock gcc that came with the
distribution at the time.

But I have to confess that I can't remember ever ever using the older
versions.  I have pretty good control over the software I use and
haven't had many problems with old source not working with new gcc
versions.  (Now gcc 4.3 is a different story--that was a pain with
some packages, including the Loki library.)

I always try to have the latest gcc release on hand--mainly due to the
better and better C++ handling (as well as FORTRAN).
