The system compiler is gcc 3.3.5. 
When running "make check", then this compiler is always used, regardless of 
CC CXX or CPP environment variables. 
I had to move the system gcc, g++, and cpp out of the way, and then create 
symbolic links to egcc and so on. To be able to use the gcc-4.2 in the 
tests. maybe I forgot sth. from the 3.3. to move out of the way.
