Downloading and installing a very old version of gcc

I would like to acquire a very old version of gcc: 4.4.3 and set it up in such a way that I can use the
Code:
update-alternatives

command to switch between my current version and the older version. I believe I may have found a website where I can download 4.4.3 from. However, I am not sure what all I need from that website or where exactly I should be installing too. If I search my kernel for gcc it would seem my current version is a symbolic link located @
Code:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7.3.0

and is linked to Folder
Code:
inode/directory

There are actually three folders in that directory: 7, 7.3.0 and 8 (empty folder).


So I am hoping someone might be able to help me understand both what I should be downloading and where I should be unpacking it such that I can run the command:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

to select which version of gcc I want my computer to default to for a compilation. Also, if this is not the right website to download from, then where would be the correct place to download gcc version 4.4.3 from. I would start tinkering but I certainly dont want to break anything.

HARDENED-CC(1)							 Debian GNU/Linux						    HARDENED-CC(1)

NAME
hardened-cc - gcc wrapper to enforce hardening toolchain improvements SYNOPSIS
export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 gcc ... DESCRIPTION
The hardened-cc wrapper is normally used by calling gcc as usual when DEB_BUILD_HARDENING is set to 1. It will configure the necessary toolchain hardening features. By default, all features are enabled. If a given feature does not work correctly and needs to be disabled, the corresponding environment variables mentioned below can be set to 0. ENVIRONMENT
DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 Enable hardening features. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 Print the full resulting gcc command line to STDERR before calling gcc. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_STACKPROTECTOR=0 Disable stack overflow protection. See README.Debian for details. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_RELRO=0 Disable read-only linker sections. See README.Debian for details. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_FORTIFY=0 Don't fortify several standard functions. See README.Debian for details. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_PIE=0 Don't build position independent executables. See README.Debian for details. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_FORMAT=0 Disable unsafe format string usage errors. See README.Debian for details. NOTES
System-wide settings can be added to /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf, one per line. The real gcc symlinks are renamed gcc.real, and a diversion is registered with dpkg-divert(1). Thus hardened-cc's idea of the default gcc is dictated by whatever package installed /usr/bin/gcc. SEE ALSO
