Does 'make install' changes xgcc?

You must use the -B option, as 'make check' does, to make the libraries
and compiler phases come from your new copy rather than the installed
copy.  Even 'make check' doesn't necessarily do the entire job; it may
take some libraries, such as libg2c.a, from the --prefix installed tree.

xgcc -Bprefix -da -O3 test.c 

doesn't seem to be working for us. Our installed copy of gcc gets stored 
in

prefix/bin

and xgcc is stored in 

prefix/objdir/gcc directory

after issueing 'make' the new version of xgcc is stored at the above 
directory and even if we do:

/prefix/objdir/gcc/xgcc -da -O3 test.c

It does not take the new copy..Please guide..
