Yes, looking at http://packages.debian.org/experimental/gcc-4.8 reveals that there were build -1 on March 22 and -2 on March 28 --- but also fifteen (15) prerelease builds going back all the way to Nov 2012. | I compiled gcc myself from the sources, but my sysadmins offered to make | a Rawhide virtual machine or live DVD for me. apt-get could you your friend too. And virtual machines are pretty easy, like the virtd / kvm variant (on Linux) quite a bit.
