This always happens if the gcc your are upgrading to is in the same
slot as the previous one. It is like a normal package upgrade. You
can't keep both gccs in the same slot. gcc preserves installations
only if they are on different slots. And please write proper subject
on emails. "WTF" is not really appropriate for a mailing list.
