My question is: What's > the "right" way to replace gcc-4.1.3 with the now-working gcc-4.4.1? I have not tried this out, but you can use shell aliases including full paths. I have used something similar to get an unmodified source tree to compile using ccache (have to clean this up and share it here...). The aliases are not passed to any children. That can be remedied by setting SHELL='ENV=/home/marko/tmp/.shinit sh' where /home/marko/tmp/.shinit contains e.g. alias /usr/bin/gcc='CCACHE_HASHCC="`/usr/bin/gcc -v 2>&1`" CCACHE_LOGFILE=/tmp/ccache.log CCACHE_DIR=/mnt/exthd/ccache ccache /usr/bin/gcc' alias /usr/bin/g++='CCACHE_HASHCC="`/usr/bin/g++ -v 2>&1`" CCACHE_LOGFILE=/tmp/ccache.log CCACHE_DIR=/mnt/exthd/ccache ccache /usr/bin/g++' [..] Some part of the build uses HOST_SH and resets the SHELL variable. So I currently use HOST_SH='/home/marko/tmp/mysh' where /home/marko/tmp/mysh contains: #!/bin/sh export ENV=/home/marko/tmp/.shinit sh "$@" Did I say I have to clean this up...? You could use something similar to alias /usr/bin/gcc to /usr/pkg/bin/gcc441 or whatever name it uses. Hope this helps and best regards, Marko
