On Ubuntu, it's possible to have several versions of GCC coexist.

Yes.
On my Debian, I see 4.8 and 4.9 are available.
However, I know of no systems where every released version of GCC is
available (at least starting with 4.1.2).
Also I expect those different versions are all built using the single
glibc used by the distro? I would like to vary glibc as well, so I can
benchmark pthread locking mechanisms across glibc versions.
What you can do is to build multiple "cross" compilers that are linked
to every version of glibc. But aren't you also a bit using different
versions of the kernel as well?
