Short answer: Probably - it is worth a try. Long answer: First, I would try the gcc from your distribution - it it works, be done with it. Than I would try a somewhat recent one - either a prepackaged one (beu I do not know if such actually exist somewhere) or a self-`make bootstrap`ped one (which is IMHO easy enough). Recent ones should understand/compile also 10 years old source ....
