Well, versions don't get updated, except if you include the backports in your sources.list. Also, are only security fixes updated, or bugs are included? If both or those updates are included, I guess that a software which maintains a stable release with versions dedicated to fixes could be updated in stable.
Am I wrong?
You'll need either to use jessie (that's going to be released in a couple of months), or you could build an in house gcc backport (or even request one to the backports team: [1])One can even start using Jessie now if the problems that prevent releasing Jessie are not problems one runs into.
The OP mentioned that he want to use Debian for a cluster. I doubt that, for clusters, one would use a beta version, and Jessie is, actually, a beta version.
