I think typically linux distros want the version, but not the 'gcc41' part.

What is the problem with this? It is just a part of the name, isn't it?

We really do need to allow multiple versions, as is common practice with other shared libs on linux systems. Since multiple compilers are uncommon, distros normally ignore that.

Whether this is a good idea is another question... Roland
