The installation is exactly the same in virtualbox, just much much faster since virtualbox isn't slow like cygwin.

A simple solution would be to make sure the new compiler comes first in the search path. I.e. do something like

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

(assuming you used the default installation path for the compiler)

Success !
That did it, it's now building without errors. :)
Phew, thank you both a lot for your patient help.

PS:
After this experience, I'd be willing to help help updating the relevant Wiki pages if this is planned.
For example
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling
it took me a bit to find out that the link about SVN is no longer valid etc.

Such things aren't planned -- people willing to work in it do the work, and if nobody wants to do the work for something nobody does the work :) If you're willing to update the wiki: great! Get yourself a wiki account and fix the pages that are wrong / out of date. I'd suggest to also join on IRC to be able discussing things :)
