Don't try to call it that; it's a short road to grief.  Stick with
the standard GNU naming scheme.

Dike the 'program-prefix' switch, and you'll get 'm68k-unknown-coff-as',
which you can alias if you can't bear typing it, or use a Makefile
define and forget about it.

No.  You should specify a '--prefix=<path>' option to both configure
invocations (or accept the default of /usr/local), which will cause
everything to Just Work.  I have crosses for m68k-coff,
m68k-unknown-rtems,
mips-unknown-ecoff, mips-unknown-elf, mips-unknown-openbsd2.0 and
i386-unknown-go32 all coexisting with the native BSD gcc in 
perfect harmony.

Apart from using Linux, I guess your mistakes are fairly understandable

If you need more help with this, give me a call & we'll get you
sorted in no time!
