  No, absolutely not, something must have gone wrong.  Could you try running
these commands and showing us the output (might be best to fork a separate
thread on the main list for this?):

/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display gcc
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display g++
/usr/sbin/alternatives --set gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.exe
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display gcc
for x in gcc g++ gcj gnat ; do
  /usr/sbin/alternatives --set $x /usr/bin/$x-4.exe
done
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display g++

  Oh dear.  Looks like "make distclean" removed a generated file that isn't
being rebuilt.  I don't ever bother trying to recover a previously-built-in
directory to a pristine state myself; I'd suggest you throw it away and
re-install the source package.


    cheers,
