 If you use
   ../gcc-3.3/configure --prefix=/some/local/path
   make bootstrap
   make install
 it will install gcc into /some/local/path, which could be a scratch 
 directory in your homedir, or in /tmp. It won't overwrite any preinstalled 
 files in /usr/... That's a safe way not to compromise the integrity of a 
 production system. You can then run the compiler by setting PATH and 
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH just for once in a shell window.

 I have no clue. I'd think that SuSE might have one, but don't know.
