Looks at what we do in SUSE, you can have multiple packages of gcc (like gcc7,
gcc8). But there's a packages 'gcc' that's responsible for creation of the
following symlink:
/usr/lib/bfd-plugins/liblto_plugin.so.0.0.0 ->
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/8/liblto_plugin.so.0.0.0
so then nm,ranlib,.. is relying on the 'system' compiler.

Richi can you please elaborate on that?
