The GNU tools really need to be praised on this one.

For RTEMS, I regularly keep about 10 gcc targets installed at the same 
time plus the native compiler.  That ignores an alternate install tree
with native and cross GNAT compilers.

The only issue I know of is if you start overriding environment
variables
like GCC_EXEC_PREFIX.  The setting can be right for only one compiler
target.
It will break the others.  There was talk of fixing this a while back. 
I
don't know if it ever was though.
