Be warned. Since this will also remove the shared libraries, every
executable compiled against them cannot be run

The right way, if you want to install from the tar.gz distribution, is
to leave in /usr/bin the old gcc, install the new one under a
different tree, e.g. /opt/gcc340, and put in PATH first
/opt/gcc340/bin, and in LD_LIBRARY_PATH first /opt/gcc340/lib .

This is the right way, if you want to --freshen your rpm's.
