Wouldn't it be possible to install in someplace which *doesn't* violate
policy, i.e. /usr/lib/gcc/i386-gnu, and set up links to, say, /usr/bin
if needed?
It's been a long time since I tried to build a cross-compiler (gcc 1.4 I
think), but IIRC, this should work. Apologies if I'm completely
off-base.
