I cant speak for 15.10 but previous versions have allowed me to chose different versions of gcc.

It required 'sudo apt-get remove gcc' then you have to see what other versions are available with 'apt-cache search gcc' or maybe use synaptic.

You need to then install the version by its package name to over-ride the distro default.
sudo apt-get install gcc-4 or whatever the appropriate name is.
