I am using automake for my project. I have gcc 4.2 installed and there is a soft link to gcc-4.2 as gcc. I also installed gcc 4.8 at some other location and now I want my project to use gcc 4.8 from this location. I do not want to change the existing soft link to gcc. So is there any way to do that in configure.ac file.

Please don't use the `c++` tag unless it's code related. Since this is compiler-related I replaced `c++` with `gcc`. – gifnoc-gkp Aug 14 '13 at 21:02

Normally this is not something you do in configure. configure is about portability, and your problem is different: customizing a build to your particular machine.
Instead the problem is typically solved when running configure:
./configure CC=/path/to/other/gcc
