That is not necessarily a problem. "Hand-built" GCC usually gets
installed into /usr/local (so g++-6 is /usr/local/bin/g++), whereas
the built-in GCC is installed into /usr (so the default GCC 7.4 is
/usr/bin/g++). Unfortunately, whether one or the other is picked
depends on your PATH.

I tend to configure my hand-built GCC with --program-suffix= (e.g. GCC
6 with --program-suffix=-6, so the name of the compiler ends up being
g++-6).

Unfortunately, gcc doesn't support "make uninstall". A workaround is
to make a fake install with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/usr/local" and
then make a list of all the files under that directory, remove the
"/tmp" and delete the files based on the list, something like

find /tmp/usr/local -type f | perl -pwle 's!/tmp!!' | xargs rm

(disclaimer: untested)

This would leave empty directories behind.
