If I knew there would be so many issues, I'd have never started upgrading gcc! Even complete reinstalling using new 2006.1 cd would be much easier... That "four line procedure" for gcc-upgrade in [1] looks quite simple, but they forgot to mention that finally you will end with "not-so-stable" system, as before. And that only if you will be lucky enough to reach the end of this upgrade-martyrium...
