GNUmake and alternate compilers

[Miguel Morales]

Dear all,

I would like to force gnumake to use an alternate compiler from  the 
default gcc.  In particular I'm working on linux servers with both 
gcc2.96 and gcc3.02 installed, but gcc uses 2.96 whereas gcc3 is linked 
to 3.02, so I'd like to tell the make system to use gcc3.  So how do I 
do this for my own programs, and is there also a way to set it up early 
on for compiling the base libraries?

Thanks for your help,

-Miguel
