Ok. I guess I can go ahead and let gcc/g++ install into /usr/local/bin.

Do you know what glib++ does? There are some (cryptic?) remarks in the
install notes about changing vendor files! That sounded very risky to
me, so I wanted to install the library in a separate location...  but
I could not easily deduce if this was possible and I was not ready to
just take the chance that nothing would happen. At which point I gave
up. :-(
