Is It Possible To Use More Than One Version Of GCC ?

I have currently enabled testing and multilib testing repo and thus my GCC is updated to 5.1.0
Problem is some of programs can't be compiled with optimizations enabled. Is there anyway to use two versions of GCC in one system (5.1.0 & < 5.0.0) and switch as per my like ? like we do in python ?

    Never mind, found the solution.
    However, I have to make changes in all my pkgbuild now :/ :/

    I am guessing, we need to install at different paths manually and set the path each time we want to use, however, please share the solution/link so that other may also be benefited. 😀

    I hate this method tho, there should be something like 'gcc -select' to switch to other versions, like we do for Java 😛

    It seems that I am late to reply here.
    I too came across the same method,
    I agree that it is very cumbersome if you need to switch every time.

    I need to try if this configuration can be a part of make file or similar
