I think only GCC 4.5 has that problem. As for coexistence: each version of gcc.exe should be able to find its own sub-programs (they are installed in different directories whose name includes the version). So what I usually do is rename the couple of executables installed on PATH to something like gcc45.exe and cpp45.exe, and invoke them by that name when I need. > And another question, given the compilers co-existance, when I > configure, do I use the argument say `--with-gcc=4.4' or something? This is not supported by the current nt/configure.bat. --with-gcc means use the compiler named literally "gcc". You could rename gcc45.exe to gcc.exe before running configure.bat, though. (Btw, if the problem is really in GCC 4.5, why would you want to leave a buggy compiler on your system? I'd just nuke it.)
