Perhaps this should be listed as an FAQ:

Q:  How do I install two different versions of Gcc (such as an experimental
    version as well as a stable version)?

[I won't go into details, but the answer involves configuring with
different values of --prefix, plus appropriate use of symlinks and PATH.
Using the program-transform feature may also be useful, but
I don't know the details of that.]
