In fact, if you just accept the default configure, the gcc built from this tree will install into /usr/local and not step on the existing gcc (but watch your paths). You're also pretty much sure to end up needing a late-model binutils (the current gnu release is 2.12.1, I believe) as gcc3 will, depending on circumstances, emit some debugging stuff that the linker can't handle if it's not recent enough.
