Dear Gcc gurus:

I am trying to install gcc-2.7.0 on a DEC alpha running OSF/1 3.2 with
gcc-2.6.3 already installed and running.

I don't want to mess up with the previous 
installation - i.e., I want to make sure that the old one is still
there up and running even if I fail in compiling gcc-2.7.0 correctly 
in the first place.

[Q1]
Does gcc-2.7.0 make takes care of this? I mean does it write over the
old one or, creates a new tree if it finds a previously installed one?

[Q2] if it is not the case that gcc installs newer version in a separate tree,
what would be better? - to keep both (old version and new version), or
just get rid of the old one and go through with the installation of
the new one, overwriting the old one?

[Q3] if I choose to install the new versino in a separate tree, 
can I accomplish this by just setting the 'prefix' to a 
path different than before?

Thank you for your interest,
