There is no need to "upgrade" the compiler, you can keep your precious old
one for compiling whatever stuff that requires the old compiler. Useful for
compiling the latest Linux 2.2.X, I suppose :)

I have a machine running Redhat 6.1. I've installed gcc-3.3 into /opt/gcc-3/,
whenever I wish to compile something with gcc-3.3, instead of the standard
egcs, I just set my path to include /opt/gcc-3/bin first. Naturally, if I ever
rm -rf /opt/gcc-3/, all apps compiled against it will stop to function.
