Combining an idee from the Linux kernel with some suggested practice building
gcc, I'm suggesting adding a --flavour=xxxx option to configure.
The point is to have several gcc versions, otherwise configured identically but
presumably different versions, installed side-by-side on the same system. This
would be achived by changing file and directory names to include the flavour.
For example, --flavour=trunk might cause a driver name of gcc-trunk, and a
library directory name of /usr/lib/gcc/<target>/trunk/ (or whatever else seems
useful).
