Is there a way to painlessly install gcc on a running system?

The directory structure for 2.x is very nice (i.e. $prefix/lib/$system/$version).

If other people are running gcc, I don't want it to do something wierd as
I'm installing...

And I don't want to replace gcc (so the default gcc is the past one), and to
use the new gcc I have to explicitly do:

gcc -V2.5.6
