I'm used to building in a separate directory. Say I've unpacked the 
tarball in my home directory, I would do something like:
$ mkdir gcc-build
$ cd gcc-build
$ ../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.0.2 --enable-languages=c
(And a few more flags but I've omitted them here.)
$ make bootstrap
$ make install

The prefix is to not mess with the old gcc. If you keep the gcc-build 
directory you can install gcc 4.0.2 with $ make uninstall. The make all 
install you're doing I'm not familiar with.
