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 ....
