That would be a problem.  AFAIK, GCC 2.95.2 has to be configured with
the actual prefix it's going to have at run-time.  It's ok to `make
install prefix=/somewhere/else', then tar it up and install it in the
configured place, though.

To avoid rebuilding, look for GCC_EXEC_PREFIX or the -B command-line
flag in the GCC manual.
