This should have already been in the README...

The best way to use the binary package is to extract wherever you want 
(/opt, $HOME/sw, etc...) and add the 'gdc/bin' directory to your PATH.

Trying to copy the files into /usr is a bad idea unless you know that 
the GCC version and configuration is exactly the same.
