Is there a way to change the default compiler and its flags for all c projects ? And point eclipse to new binaries( gdb, gcc, autoconf, automake, make) for all projects ? Without using symbolic links(pointers), and placing them in usr/bin? It's cumbersome to change it every time I start a new project! Is there a configuration file which I can tweak?

I have created symbolic links in usr/bin in my computer so that it points to the new binaries built using macports. I am now using gcc 4.7, gdb 7.3 and make 3.82. However, I don't now where automake and autoconf are.

I would like to add flags such as -std=c11 for all projects is that doable ? If not I will be forced to change to qt ide, visual studio or vim.

It can be done:
http(colon)//gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Spec-Files.html
http(colon)//www.mingw.org/node/25
provide starting point - to create/modify a 'specs' file(in the correct location) used by gcc(depending on gcc release it may not be present by default). For c++ programs the important spec string is:
*cc1plus:
-std=c++0x -U__STRICT_ANSI__

is what I use to get good default(my gcc is only 4.6.1) and not put on every new project.
(It's lot more tricky to add in some kinds of useful defaults to the linker if
libs have to be in the correct order)
