./configure
make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' 
bootstrap
su
[password]
make install

Note that this may not work on all distributions: for example, if your
distro has the gcc executable in /usr/bin and /usr/bin is in the path before
/usr/local/bin (which should be where gcc installs by default), then you
may end up running the old one.

Really the best thing to do is get an updated package (rpm, deb, whatever)
from your vendor.
