I had a similar problem (reported 2 weeks ago) with a different picture.
In my case, /usr/bin/gcc was not a link at all, but a copy of gcc-3.exe,
although /usr/bin/g++ had been properly installed as a link. Fixed this 
manually.
This might be an indication that either the script set-gcc-default-4.sh 
or its installation
may be somehow unreliable.
