You may have noticed that since gcc 2.11c (?), /usr/lib/{shared,lib}/lib
is no longer used. All the shared stubs are moved to
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/xxxxx/shared. So you can keep all the old
shared libs and compilers around. You just need to do a
gcc -V xxxxx
where xxxxx is the version number of old compiler. You now use the old
compiler and the corresponding shared libs.
You don't have to relink anything unless it is borken.
