Look at how Debian maintainers solved this issue and use please
alternatives.

For a build farm there is a default gcc compiler, the current release;
alternative gcc releases should be used directly, without alternatives
help or in dedicated zones. To cripple the public packages for a specific
build farm requirement seems to me a big compromise.
