True, but this only works for Makefiles which e.g. don't have the compiler
name hardcoded (Ok, i admit in these days of autotools most shouldn't). The
nice thing about the alternatives system is that the link /usr/bin/gcc then
actually points to the right version. So it should work for more packages
than the "standard" way.

BTW: Of course it might be that the OP's problem is completely orthogonal to
this issue. He never posted the error messages, so it's hard to tell.
