GCC puts almost all its pieces in versioned directories: if you compile
the older GCC with --program-prefix={triplet}-
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs then nothing much should clash
(it will overwrite a couple of manpages, but with identical
replacements).
where {triplet} is the config.guess triplet of your target (I can't
remember the triplet for coldfire off the top of my head, sorry).
