That's about what I did.  I think I installed it to /usr/gcc2 - man pages, 
libs, includes, 
bin, everything went to /usr/gcc2.  Also, during the configure (of gcc) I gave 
the 
option --with-suffix="-2.95.3", so the binaries were created as gcc-2.95.3 and 
so on.  
Then I created a symbolic link in /usr/bin called gcc2 -> 
/usr/gcc2/bin/gcc-2.95.3 as 
well as c++2 -> /usr/gcc2/bin/c++-2.95.3.  Finally when I ran configure for 
flex I said:
CC=gcc2 CPP=c++2 ./configure --whatever-options-i-don't-remember-now

I used the same CC and CPP options to configure/build bison and lilypond, and 
next 
thing I knew some elves had left a working copy of lilypond on my doorstep 
while I 
slept.
