there is one drawback with that...
if you start the compiler by typing
gcc -barchitecture
instead of 
gcc-architecture-name
the hosts gcc driver will not find the compiler.

I usually use two links as a countermeasure for the problem
first 
ln -s /usr/local/architecture-name /usr/architecture-name

and if gcc-architecture is installed in /usr/local you need
to add
ln -s /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/architecture /usr/lib/gcc-lib/architecture

works on my linux box with gcc2 and cygnus cdk for a29k-amd-udi and
m68k-coff.
