PS. Note that I did immediately switch to the new compiler. |

I dont know how well "having the new gcc around but not using it" works, since |
| 15 |
its standard libraries are not affected by the gcc-config mechanism (and thus |
| 16 |
a gcc-4.* will happily use the libraries installed by gcc-5). |

If you want to keep your system gcc-4 only (which is only going to work for a |
| 19 |
very limited time), you should locally mask the newer versions. Offhand I see |
| 20 |
no real reason to do that though. As somebody said, "2014 called - it wants |
| 21 |
its compiler back!" |
