FWIW I use a local build of pristine autotools with a version suffix
appended to the respective commands and then $AUTOCONF/$AUTOM4TE envvar
overrides to avoid this very issue when updating binutils/GDB/GCC/glibc.
The suffix is a standard `configure' script feature, but there's a small
modification required to the build process so that there's no pkgdatadir
overlap between installed versions. I can share the details if that
helped. It has worked for me for decades.
