You can install the binary on your device and don't need to compile from source for using the application.
It seems unfair to both developers and other users of the project to expect it to be compatible with older toolchains given the benefits of the newer builds.

Pull down the correct static and you're done. If you still want to compile it, it's easy. From linux from scratch to muslcc to buildroot to yocto you can get nice new compilers and run them in docker or in a simple chroot. Requiring new compiler versions is a good thing and any disto related impediments are a distraction from just getting simple toolchain tooling going.
