This sounds reasonable to me. My general opinion, based on pkgsrc where
situations like this arise all the time, is to decide either
the world is such that only one copy will ever be needed ==> just use
the name
sometimes >1 copy will be needed ==> always use version suffix
and also try not to rename existing packages/directories, because the
cost of renaming is usually worse than the benefit of purity.
So this says the new directory should be
/usr/src/external/gpl3/gcc48
which will be unconfusing. Later, we might add gcc49 and remove the
plain gcc.
