This is how most distros install stuff for their packaging systems,
make install DESTDIR=/some/directory
and then everything under /some/directory
is packaged into the package.
GCC is generally relocatable, the compiler driver should find the
compiler and library/include directories etc. relative to where the
driver resides in the filesystem.
