Thanks,
Therefore, I understand I should not try to make the current QGIS I have
work with a new compiled gdal.
BUt could I have a second version of gdal
which I would use for converting ECW and MrSid files to formats that
QGIS can accept?

Considering that I have QGIS installed from binaries

I remove the gdal that I have first? In the second case,
will I be able to tell QGIS where the new gdal is
or would I have to compile QGIS as well?
A general rule is: "DO NOT mix binaries from the repos with self
compiled components". If you want to self compile then be prepared to
compile the entire tool chain (gdal, grass, gdal-grass-plugin, qgis).
I know this rule is not absolute in the sense that I use binaries for
qt, postgresql, etc, but at least for the core packages it is a rule
which saves a lot of potential pain. Also be aware that maintaining
binaries from the repo and a self compiled version at the same time
(parallel installation of the entire tool chain) is tricky. The
software may compile against the correct version of a dependency, but
then may load the incorrect version at run time. Building is straight
forward *IF* you have a clean system.
Hope this helps.
