Not at all. I have done that. It is quite straightforward. However, you will need to install GPC with "make install", rather than "make pascal.install". That way, gcc-2.95.3 will also be installed along with GPC. Just make sure that you don't overwrite the existing gcc installation. I normally configure with "--prefix=/usr/local", so
`make pascal.install-with-gcc' (in recent GPC's) will only install the GCC files in the .../gcc-lib/... directory and not overwrite the main gcc binary. That's meant for such cases.
Using a different prefix means you then have a gcc (the system's) in /usr/bin and another one (newly built) in /usr/local/bin, and it depends on the order of your PATH which one you actually use. I wouldn't really recommend that.
