I usually do it like this:

CC='gcc -V 2.7.2.3' ./configure

Well, you can always build them from source, using a --prefix of
/usr/local (the default) or some other out-of-the-way place.  If, due
to different configurations, e.g. g77, and you want different `gcc'
drivers, you can install to different places and refer to the driver
by absolute path, e.g. CC=/packages/development/gcc/bin/gcc and
CC=/packages/development/egcs/bin/gcc.
