You are free to call your compiler anything you like but in the future 
your code might not compile any more.

Since the build host also usually offers compilation tools, it is 
quite useful if each set of tools is clearly demarked by a naming 
convention so that the correct ones are used.  Use symbolic links to 
establish one without modifying your tool installation.
