Yes.

I am not sure what part of the documentation you are referring to 
though.  I don't recall any part that recommends against installing in 
/usr/local.

It is possible to install multiple compiler versions in /usr/local.  You 
have to fix a few things by hand, for instance, renaming one of the gcc 
drivers to avoid a conflict.  It is simpler to install different 
compiler versions in different directories though.

You might consider reporting a bug into bugzilla.  See
	http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html
We would need enough info to reproduce the problem, which might be an 
issue in this case.  If you don't know what is wrong with the script, 
then we won't be able to fix it.
