As far as the build process is concerned, tree-ssa is not special at all!

    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html

Personally, in my build I simply pass a --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-ssa and 
then,
when I want to use it (for tcsh):

setenv PATH             /usr/local/gcc-ssa/bin:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH  /usr/local/gcc-ssa/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv MANPATH          /usr/local/gcc-ssa/man:$MANPATH
setenv INFOPATH         /usr/local/gcc-ssa/info:$INFOPATH

But, there are *many* other possibilites to have a lot of compilers 
available
not interfering with your system compiler...
