If I may;

Uhm, I don't think it is intentional and I can only 
think maybe your environment is out of whack, because of
forgetfulness :)

Maybe you can tell us if you get gcc-2.96 or gcc-3.2.3 
from a terminal as a mere user, by just typing in 

]$ gcc -v                   ?


This would be a great help to further diagnose.

If you do get gcc 2.96 with above command, then probably 
all you need to;


1/.  You may need to reset the path for your user to
     use gcc;  

you know, 

]$ printenv PATH

[ I think it reads /home/username/.profile ?  ]

then, add something along the lines of like

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:.
export PATH

2/.  And maybe you may be required to include the Libraries 
     for the new compilier in ld.so.conf, so that the cache 
     sees those  required libraries.

[  I could never figure out the procedure to refresh the 
   cache, I always restarted the PC...seemed simple enough
   to me. ]

 
Hope this Helps.

Merry Christmas...
