It is if your $PATH looks in /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin.  You should 
prolly remove the older version of gcc completely, or you're going to 
run into alot of problems.

Looks like your libjpeg is compiled against glibc-2.0.  You'll need to 
(re)build it against the new glibc.  libjpeg is funny that way.  be 
forwarned, anything that relies on libjpeg will also need to be rebuild, 
unless you want multiple copies of libjpeg on your box.
