>Description:
Idea was to install gcc-3.0.1 alongside 2.95.2, so testing could be done before switching fully to 3.0.1.  Top of config.status reads:

# This directory was configured as follows:
../gcc-3.0.1/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/var/tmp/gcc-3.0.1/gcc/version.c --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.8 --program-suffix=-3.0.1 --disable-libgcj --norecursion 

Unfortunately, when 'gmake install' was run, 2.95.2 was overwritten by 3.0.1, instead of being installed alongside it, as evidenced by the lack of a   [foo]-3.0.1 binary, and the return from gcc -v being:

# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.0.1/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.0.1/configure --program-suffix=-3.0.1 --disable-libgcjThread model: posix
gcc version 3.0.1

>How-To-Repeat:
configure --program-suffix=-BLAH && gmake bootstrap && gmake install
