I'm not sure about gcc-2.8.1, but when you install the latest=20 egcs(gcc-2.95.2) the port installs the executables into /usr/local/bin = followed=20 by a major version number. So calling gcc or g++ would still run = the=20 system default compiler, but typing something like "gcc295 filename.c" = or=20 "g++295 filename.cc" will call the 2.95.2 version.
