gcc 4.8 not creating its link

Hey guys, when installing gcc the file /usr/local/bin/gcc is not created, a link to /usr/local/bin/gcc48 needs to be added manually.
 
That is very reasonable behavior in the light of the fact that people use anything from GCC 4.4-4.9 and even older more portable versions of GCC like 2.7 and 3.6.

In my lab we are making great effort to migrate from 4.4 to 4.8 and it is two steps forward one step backward.
 
Correct, it's not supposed to create one as we have many different versions. And they'd all want to try to create a symlink, which is not allowed.
