PS. Note that I did immediately switch to the new compiler. I dont know how well "having the new gcc around but not using it" works, since its standard libraries are not affected by the gcc-config mechanism (and thus a gcc-4.* will happily use the libraries installed by gcc-5). If you want to keep your system gcc-4 only (which is only going to work for a very limited time), you should locally mask the newer versions. Offhand I see no real reason to do that though.
