I'm running MandrakeCooker, from somewhere after 8.2, and i've got 3
different gcc's installed.  all from RPMS.  none conflict with each
other, they each have a different name:

 kgcc ( 2.91.66 )
 gcc ( 2.96 )
 gcc-3.0.1

i use which ever i need to be invoking the correct name or by setting
$CC, etc
