inside the top gcc source directory,
mkdir somedir
cd somedir
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/some/directory/for/this/gcc
make install
Then, put /usr/local/some/directory/for/this/gcc/bin in the beginning of
your path. For c++ programs you will also want to put
/usr/local/some/directory/for/this/gcc/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I hold 3 versions this way, soon 4 (3.2).
If you want to set a default, link to /usr/local/bin.
