That's correct. Since you have everything linked as shared libraries
system dynamic linker will pick the shared library installed in the
default library location. Most probably you will need to edit
/etc/ld.so.conf and put the gcc 4.2.4 library path there *before*
system compiler one and rerun "ldconfig" (from root)....
