The gcc-2.95.3 you compiled should install straight into /usr/local and not
touch your already (.deb) gcc. You can then choose which gcc you use by
setting you PATH variable.
brounb@edward>/usr/bin/gcc --version
2.96
brounb@edward>/usr/local/bin/gcc --version
3.0
brounb@edward>/usr/local/Old/bin/gcc --version
2.95.3
this one was compiled with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Old
each gcc keeps a specs file
brounb@edward>/usr/local/Old/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/local/Old/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs
