I finally fired gcc compilation successfully apparently, but killed it
(seems not necessary)...

The thing is that the installed gcc version was 4.3.0, and the
installed g++ version was 4.2.3.  That because gcc got to
compile/install 1st on the "sorcery -s" but g++ was not dispelled
before "sorcery -s" tried to cast g++, and gcc-4.3.0 don't get along
with g++-4.2.3 apparently, :)...  Kind of "sorcery -s" not handling
correctly the order of things done...

So, I manually dispelled g++, left gcc as it is with version 4.3.0,
and I'm casting manually g++...

I remember not having this problem on the other box, because I didn't
run "sorcery -s" right away.  I 1st upgraded sorcery and all
grimoires, and then manually casted g++.  I'm not sure if when
manually casting g++, the previous version gets dispelled right before
the casting process starts, I really don't remember...  Any ways, I'm
compiling again, which is what counts...  I still have another laptop
for which to upgrade test grimoire to the one with new 4.3.0 gcc/g++
version, so I guess I'll have to remember not to run "sorcery -s" at
1st, :)...  Of course I need to get this one done (including "sorcery
-r") before thinking about the other one, :).

Thanks,
