This is created when alternatives runs for gcc.  If you're missing it, it 
suggests
to me that alternatives wasn't run.  Check '/etc/postinstall/gcc.sh*" and
"/etc/postinstall/gcc-g++.sh*".  If there is no "done" suffix, these didn't 
run,
which is why you don't have the alternatives files you're looking for.  If there
is a "done" suffix, these did run but apparently didn't do so successfully.  Try
running them again by hand and see what errors, if any, pop up.
