Question on gcc install

[Arthur Schwarz]

Does gcc delete old version of their software during an install. I just
installed gcc/mingw 4.8.3-2 and have all versions from 4.7.3 to 4.8.3-2 but
(I think) only libraries and etc. for 4.8.3-2. Am I responsible for deleting
these older references? Will these older references work with the newer
libraries?

These are the programs I have (for i in `ls /bin/i686* ls/bin/x86*`; do $i
--version; done | grep GCC)
