21 There is an effort in progress to enable compiler "profiles" (for want of
22 a better word) that will enable people to choose their compiler much the
23 same way that gcc-config sets the gcc version.
24
25 Check bugs.gentoo.org, there are patches or partial solutions in there
26 somewhere. (there could also be a masked version of gcc/gcc-config in
27 portag, check in packages.mask)
28
29 I'm sure your contributions would be welcomed by the devs that are
30 undertaking this.
