gcc getting Fatal signal 11 is often (but not always) a sign of bad RAM or
  other bad hardware. See http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/ .

It is advisable to build gcc in a directory separate from the sources:

$mkdir ../objdir
$cd ../objdir
$../gcc-2.95.2/configure [configure args]

More importantly, '--exec-prefix=/usr' sets the directory binary
  executables will be placed in to '/usr' . That is, gcc, g++, g77, etc,
  will all end up in /usr ... *not* /usr/bin . If you want them in
  /usr/bin, '--prefix=/usr' alone is good enough; by defualt they will
  end up in {prefix}/bin .

No. --exec-prefix overrides the default behavior.
