The easiest way would be to build egcs for installation into different
locations than the regular ones, e.g.
	mkdir builddir && cd builddir && ../configure --prefix=/extra/egcs/

The only problem you'll have to deal with then is due to some type changes
in libc that were introduced after egcs' release. To fix that, grab the
relevant patch from http://www.jhm.cistron.nl/egcs_1.1.2-0.diff.gz (which
contains my half-hearted attempt at a "kgcc" version of egcs 1.1.2).

HTH,
