When you have installed a previous release of gcc, say version 2.2.1 
configured for sparc-sun-sunos4.1, and you add a new release, say version
2.3.1, configured for sun4, configure does not expand the machine/os name
to a canonical form. This means that gcc -V 2.2.1 does not work to get the
old compiler, as one expects.

Workaround nr 1: use gcc -V 2.2.1 -b sparc-sun-sunos4.1 (lot of typing)

Workaround nr 2: make a softlink from 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.2.1 to 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sun4/2.2.1


A real solution could be that a make install installs these soft links.
(Or demand in documentations that for each release the same target for
 configure should be used. )
