Yes, it makes a difference.  In that case, the default version is 2.4.0
(e.g. the same as if you'd typed "-V 2.4.0").

If you wish to install a new version but have the default remain the old
version, you could save your old "gcc" frontend somewhere, install the new
compiler, and put the old "gcc" back.  Or you could hack the sources.  I
don't recommend this unless you really know what you're doing though.

For example, in going from 2.3.3 to 2.4.0 on Suns, the type of size_t
has changed (Sun claims it is "int", which violates ANSI C; as of 2.4.0,
it is "unsigned long" with fixincludes fixing the Sun headers to match).
For C++ users, mixing the versions is likely to be painful; similarly
for C users who use prototypes everywhere.
