no. not 'make'. `make bootstrap`
linux-sxs.org has an article on compiling gcc. read it first.

linux-sxs' article didn't used these 5 options....the rest are similar.

I rather follow traditions and install everything below /usr.
you can always reinsatll the old gcc without ill effects after removing
the new version. also, learn to use checkinstall-1.5.2, It's a great
tool to build rpm using the output of `make install`.

ldconfig -v

i don't think reboot can force a ldconfig -v .. not sure.. maybe your
linux distribution do things differently.
