--program-suffix

[Albert Jongkit Wong]

I'm trying to install multiple versions of gcc onto a system so that users 
can select which version they wish to use.  I'd like to be able to install 
gcc so that the version numbers are mangled into the binary names (eg. 
g++-2.95.3, cpp-2.95.3, etc.)

The documentation made mention of --program-suffix, but applying this 
option seemed to have no effect. I tried this both on gcc2.95.3 and 
gcc3.0.3, the two versions I am trying to install. 

Any ideas how I may go about doing this?  In the worst case, I was 
thinking of renaming the binaries by hand, but I think this would require 
some changes to the source so that the programs could find each other and 
thus is a less than optimal solution.

Thanks,
Albert
