You're not talking about gcc upgrade, but rather about different
approach to the whole crossbuild.

Including sharprom compatible build, that requires 2.95 or something.

That may be possible even with rearranged staging, indeed, but again,
you agreed it's more complicated that it seemed to you at the first glance.

I'm not taking the symlink workaround seriously, because inventing one
workaround to get rid of the other isn't going to get us anywhere.
