If you're using a 2.2.X kernel, delete packages gcc and gccfront and maybe reinstall egcs.
If I understand your suggestion, using the egcs package instead of gcc/gccfront will allow such compiles to work without all this fooling around. I'd like to believe that, and I'm going to try it (after deleting gccfront of course).
gcc is gcc 2.7.2.3 and gccfront the driver (/usr/bin/gcc). As I wrote, these are only needed for compiling 2.0.X kernels. If you don't intend to do that, you may safely delete both packages. BTW, for programs written in C++, you need packages gpp and gpplib and gpp *requires* egcs to be installed.
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.
