[Nix-dev] No gcc-x.y symlinks?

Hello

It doesn't seem to be possible to easily use multiple versions of gcc 
simultaneously. Versioned symlinks are created in the store but not in 
the user's environment so only one version of gcc is available in the path.
Could the symlinks be added for example to the gcc-wrapper package (and 
into ~/.nix-profile/bin/)? I tried to modify the wrapper's builder.sh 
but gcc version doesn't seem to be available there.
