[root@somemachine root]$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config gcc

There are 2 programs which provide `gcc'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+    1        /usr/bin/gcc-3.2
      2        /usr/bin/gcc-2.96

Enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 


So if you have both installed, you can choose a default one that
should be started by the 'gcc' command.

But remember that for the C++ compiler g++, that the different
versions are not compatible, e.g. you cannot use gcc 2.96 to compile
kde apps on Mandrake 9.0.
