I wrote instructions on how to install and build egcs-1.1.2 on Debian potato systems as part of instructions to compile and install A+ (http://aplusdev.org/Install/debian.html). Basically, it says to build and install egcs in /usr/local/egcs/, then set your PATH to point at it while building A+. You should be able to do the same.
My instructions were for building egcs using gcc 2.95.2, but I don't see why 2.95.4 wouldn't work. If you only need egcs-1.1.2 to build one other piece of software, I don't think you want to replace 2.95.4. The result of my procedure will not replace 2.95.4, and it will not conflict with it.
