For the same architecture, yes.

So instead of using the biarch feature (which takes care of the libgcc
naming) you are building and installing gcc into a separate ${prefix} for
each of 32 and 64-bit compilation?

I'd guess you could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64, which will be ignored by the
32-bit loader.
