It would be useful if you read the other mails of this thread before answering
because in the very beginning I already mentioned the reason why this is not
practical:
"If SUSE (or any other vendor) started to ship compilers for every variant
of broken code floating around in the world they would end up shipping all
versions of gcc ever released or even those that were never released."
So building yourself is the way to go if you don't want to fix the code.
Alternatively unpacking a binary package from an older release should do as
well.
