I don't think that changing the default versions of gcc and g++ would be acceptable at this stage in the game. Switching g77 on its own seems like a great idea if the packaging supports that. If not, we will have to just put up with it one way or another. (One, admittedly really bad, possibility might be to nobble the ARM g77 so that -fPIC has no effect.) p.
