when you're running a kernel compiled with 2.95 (and recompiling it
every few days), recompiling driver modules a lot, but using 3.2 for
apps, it really helps to not have to play with PATH a lot. or at
least, it helps me. this is particularly true given that i am often
compiling apps in an emacs that is running using whatever PATH setting
was there when it was invoked, but compiling the kernel from a
terminal window, and driver modules in both places. i just need to
know that "gcc = gcc-X.XX" without worrying about where it might mean
that.

fwiw, i plan to switch to all gcc3 in the next couple of weeks.
