The usual way to support multiple micro versions is to build and install
to a different location on your system by using:
./configure --prefix=/new/path
There is nothing magical about /usr/local or /usr other than that
/usr/bin and /usr/local/bin are usually included in default $PATH. If
you use a non-default prefix, it's also probably best to avoid using
--enable-shared to minimize the chances of confusion with shared library
loading.
