This worked for me:

# Note, use sudo. I'm in a docker image, so i dont need it.

# install dev libs
apt-get install python-dev -y && \
apt-get install python3-dev -y && \
apt-get install libevent-dev -y && \

# install new gcc
apt-get update && \
apt-get install build-essential software-properties-common -y && \
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install gcc-snapshot -y && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 -y && \
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 && \
apt-get install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 -y && \
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8;
