Beware! I took the suggestion and removed gcc and gccfront from my system. I then discovered that X wasn't reading my .Xdefaults file, so all my customizations were lost. Further investigation showed that xrdb was looking for lib/cpp and not finding it. Restoring gcc and gccfront (both were needed) fixed the problem.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about the X-programs. But you can still safely delete gcc and gccfront, reinstall egcs and do an 'ln -s /lib/cpp /usr/bin/cpp' and it will work again. The gcc 2.95.2, which we'll use on 6.4 will do away with the the symlink in /usr/bin (it's itself a symlink to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/cpp) and replace it with a binary cpp. But the symlink /lib/cpp->/usr/bin/cpp will still work.
