Here's what caused me to do what I did:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/finalinstall.html  has:
vvvvv
...
We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is no
previous version of GCC present.
...
Installation into a temporary staging area or into a chroot jail can be
achieved with the command

      make DESTDIR=path-to-rootdir install

where path-to-rootdir is the absolute path of a directory relative to which all
installation paths will be interpreted. Note that the directory specified by
DESTDIR need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary.
^^^^^

I've recompiled (21 hours) using the --prefix parameter and compilation 
has completed; I've run the test suite - same result as before: 6 errors.

I'm waiting for a blessing to proceed with just  "make install" in Bug 
42409 as I read the above strong recommendation with great deference and 
really do not want to affect my existing GCC.
