Alternatively, build in a chroot, using archives.debian.org as
source (that's what I do; for convenience I use schroot, but
am not really sure whether to keep it). The Debian Wiki [1]
has a good starting point.

It seems that Debian 9 has gcc-6 so you can use Docker image with Debian 9.

Stop looking at packages.  Download the source code for gcc 6, and build
it as if it were a foreign program.  Install it in /usr/local or
/opt/something as if it were a foreign program.

Or, fix the program you're trying to compile, because it's clearly full
of bugs that older gcc simply wasn't catching.

Can anyone kindly instruct me how to install gcc-6 in Debian 11? I need
compile a software and was hinted gcc version (10) is too high. I have
old machine with gcc 6 and was able to compile it there. 

 

Thank you very much.
