Probably. It is certainly to have both gcc 2.7.2 and gcc 2.8.x installed.
I currently have: a.out, libc5 & libc6 version of gcc 2.7.2 & gcc 2.8.1
This works because gcc installs itself into /usr/lib/gcc-lib/machine-libc-type/version
The only tricky part is not getting the default gooffed.
But you can alway override the default version with -V2.7.2.3 or -V2.8.1
For C++ I would recommend egcs as it's support of C++ is more complete.
To get the defaults right for gcc & g++ the important thing to save
the old /usr/bin/gcc (before the install) and put it back afterwards.
If you let g++ be the installed version it should default to 2.8.1
