Doing this properly also involves adjusting the info directory entries to
refer to the correct info files, e.g. with -D on the makeinfo command line
to change the default. And this means that if such an option to change
the info file names is specified, any pre-built info files in a release
tarball must be ignored in favour of building new ones (this may already
work, I don't know).
Similarly, the bodies of the manpages should be adjusted to reflect the
installed program names (rather than a manpage for gcc-3.4 documenting a
command "gcc").
Then you might adjust intl.c so that each version uses suffixed
translations (gcc-3.4.mo, etc.).
