At runtime? Do you mean that one needs to change the library path
also for running the generated executable? The README.Debian file
doesn't say anything like that. According to the README.Debian
file, the wrapper is just what we need.

The package description doesn't say that it isn't for regular
development.

BTW, is there any reason why gcc-snapshot needs the library path
to be changed explicitly (to run the compiler) while this is not
needed for gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, etc.?
