1 You don't need to do anything unless the ebuild screws with the install
2 process. The gcc install process makes the last version installed the
3 default version. Other versions can be invoked with the version flag.

5 Caveat: The frontend installed with gcc3.x is incompatible with gcc2.x
6 according to the web site so it will not be able to invoke your 2.95.3
7 compiler. Of course it's possible that the ebuild does something to
8 the install to get around this problem. I have no idea as I only use
9 the latest compiler.
