Am I stupid or what gives?
Kindly,

I think gcc4 is invoked as gcc-4. I usually set up a softlink in my search path.

I think I figured it out myself; seemingly I need to have /etc/alternatives in my path before /usr/bin.


Now I get:
$ type gcc
gcc is /etc/alternatives/gcc

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1 ...

greets,
H.
