Gary,

I'll redirect your question to the CDT newsgroup by adding it to the
"to" list of this reply.

I think I can now answer my own question, thanks in part to the 24 Feb
discussion between Nikosch and Tracy Miranda in the eclipse.tools.cdt
thread. There are two separate issues here:

1) There may in fact be no conflict: g++ / gcc will find the paths
matching its version, if the tools were built correctly and their include
directories have not been molested. I verified this by creating two hello
world projects, assigning different compilers to each. (My system has two
versions installed.) Then I renamed the iostream header file in each path
temporarily, and the proper build for the renamed path failed.

2) Nevertheless, there still might be occasions when deleting a default
path might be desirable. Bug 206372
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206372) acknowledges an
issue here. A workaround is mentioned in the writeup for this bug which
involves moving, deleting, or editing (depending on your tolerance for
adventure) ${workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core
