would a gcc by any other name still smell?

[Robert Lipe]

(or something like that. :-)

If you type 'make install' on egcs, you get a c compiler that
calls itself 'gcc'.

If we do this, we're damned because it's not the FSF release and
it would make it difficult to have both EGCS and GCC installed at
the same time.

If we don't do this, we're damned becuase so many pacages expect
the "good" compiler to be named 'gcc' and favor it over anything
else it finds.

Has a plan been forumalated?   Are we going to force users to either
choose or the other or use a funky build process for one or the other?
