By taking a closer look at the output of 'make install' it appears that 
gcc is in fact installed with the requested name, but removed just 
afterward:
-------8<----------
rm -f /tmp/gcc-4.7.1/bin/avr-gcc-4.7.1
/usr/bin/install -c xgcc /tmp/gcc-4.7.1/bin/avr-gcc-4.7.1  (install)
rm -f /tmp/gcc-4.7.1/bin/avr-gcc-4.7.1                     (delete )
-------8<----------


I fixed the problem by swapping the two corresponding lines in the 
target 'install-driver' of the file ${GCCSRC}gcc/Makefile.in:

--- Makefile.in.orig	2012-07-18 23:16:01.000000000 +0200

 	  if [ -d $(DESTDIR)$(gcc_tooldir)/bin/. ] ; then \


I don't think this had any side effect - and should be safe for inclusion.
