In reference to the recent email...
It would be nice to be able to have some way to instruct the configure script about the location of the desired compilers. I realize you can change the config.h file, but the configure script does a lot of checking that I think should happen with the compilers that actually get used.
In my case...
1. I couldn't just reset my paths. Both gcc and gcc44 are in /usr/bin.
2. I can't change gcc to be gcc44 (bad system-level dinking, that).
3. I couldn't tell configure to use gcc44 instead of gcc, etc.
4. The configure script ignores non-sh environment variables, so aliasing didn't work.
5. Not every user will immediately think to find a directory to set symlinks and reset the path.
The latter could be implemented with some documentation, but it seems nice to have other options.
