Maybe, are your buildbots Debian unstable with older compilers installed
on them?
If so, maybe a more appropriate way to test would be with containerized
distributions that were meant to work with GCC 4.8 or 4.9? A Debian 8
container for example?

I don't mind dropping support for older compilers for Octave 5, but it
would be nice to at least ensure that Octave 4.4 works with GCC 4.8.
That may have nothing to do with whether you keep certain buildbot
configurations running.
