Well, not exactly: there are support libraries like libgcc shared
between compilers and always provided by the largest version you’re
installing so you’d totally lose any and all support for basically
anything you’re running on stable if you install a compiler whose
libgcc etc. are newer than what’s shipped in stable.

And not installing them would cause trouble with the newer compiler
expecting things that are absent.

This is basically the same as upgrading glibc: you’ll have to run
testing/unstable if you want that.
