No.

​It seems I have to become sid here.

​I have become sid and installed a ton of dependencies from the experimental respository and finally installed gcc 8.

After some rehab I will study the web page on compiling kernels in debian.

I need to get the set up to use the GCC 8 compiler I have just installed.
