So you are proposing to have the program referenced by 2 different names
in 3 different places?
Could you not at least make "gcc" be "gcc" everwhere (and prefix all the
other commands with "g") to make it impossible to confuse them with the
Sun variants? This is both common practice, and all the packages
provide for this via the "--program-prefix" option.
