Overwriting something in /lib from /usr/local/lib is a very bad idea,
you will notice soon. You probably have not done everything required to
use the new gcc. See its docs.

In many cases using a new compiler does not include removing the old
compiler. Often it is necessary to carefully put the compiler and the
rest carefully together to get a running system without having to patch
each and every function. Usually the old compiler is kept for its job,
and the new one is used for new applications only.
