would a gcc by any other name still smell?

My problem is more with the C++ include files.  If you leave the 2.7.2
ones lying around in /usr/local/lib/g++-include, they are found before
the egcs ones in /usr/local/include/g++.  I have had to delete the old
ones or use a different --prefix for one of the versions.  Any other
solutions?
