You can do that easily.  Just edit the path specified in all.sh.
Or better yet, leave the path the same, and make /opt/sparc a symlink :-)

You're not the first to ask.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2003-09/msg00041.html
Antonio reports
"Gcc shouldn't be a problem. Binutils is the one that fails.
I tried compiling it with --host=$TARGET.  Unfortunately halfway into
building it, it attempts to run an executable it just built and dies."
Sounds like a little autotools expertise is needed here.  I
haven't gotten a round tuit yet, though.
