You do not have to install GCC to its native directory. Download the GCC source.
Create a separate directory to build GCC, and another to install GCC. Suppose, current directory is /home/abc, then Suppose source directory is: /home/abc/srcs, that is, when you untarred the GCC source, you got a directory srcs, then Then mkdir /home/abc/objs mkdir /home/abc/tools cd /home/abc/objs Command template : <source_directory>/configure --prefix=<directory_to_install> So, the command becomes /home/abc/srcs/configure --prefix=/home/abc/tools (This command is being run inside the directory /home/abc/objs) make make install. GCC should now be available at /home/abc/tools/bin.
