I do not recommend that anyone use -V, I think it is an accident
waiting to happen.  Instead, set prefix to something like
/usr/local/egcs-1.0, and then put a sym link from /usr/local/bin/gcc
to whatever version you want.  You'll find that gcc 2.0 and gcc 3.0
and all versions between can exist and run on the same system, if this
is done.  -V just doesn't work with 2.0.  :-)
