There's a bug in gcc-7.3.1 that causes a crash on some code I need. Is it safe to install gcc-8 from rawhide on F27?
You can try installing the gcc package from rawhide (or probably better the F28 repository, currently at beta), but the usual problem with doing this sort of thing is that you find you have to update a lot of dependent packages as well, and it ends up simpler and probably safer just to update the whole system to the later version.
In the case of gcc you might be okay to do it, as I don't think there are many dependent packages and they look fairly self-contained but it may depend on what else is installed.
There are also alternatives you could try, for example if it is a package you could use mock to try building it under F28, or you could build your software an F28 docker container.
