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.
