There are no alternatives for gcc (cc is different). This is a deliberate maintenance choice.

What is > the proper way to make gcc-3.2 the system default? CC=gcc-3.2 in the environment, or upgrade the gcc, g++, etc. packages to ones where the gcc symlink points to gcc-3.2. (You could also dpkg-divert /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/g++, etc. and put a different symlink there instead. Just remember that you've done so if you take that approach.)
