imac:~ schwarz$ ls -la `which gcc`
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  7 Mar  9  2008 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.0

That symlink is now the issue though. (BTW, I thought symlinks and  
softlinks were synonyms)


Now /usr/bin/gcc is a wrapper that calls, at least on my system,  
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 with the dirname of $0 prefixed (on  
Intel it's calling probably the Intel version).

yes, but unfortunately the problem is elsewhere:

imac:~ schwarz$ cd /tmp
imac:/tmp schwarz$ ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 gcc
imac:/tmp schwarz$ ./gcc
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec './powerpc-apple-darwin8- 
gcc-4.0.1': No such file or directory
imac:/tmp schwarz$ /tmp/gcc
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec '/tmp/powerpc-apple-darwin8- 
gcc-4.0.1': No such file or directory
