I would like to keep my gcc 4.9 but let Matlab use gcc 4.7 because Stable Debian does not support 4.7, as observed in the thread Debian Jessie: Why gcc-4.7 conflicts with gcc-4.8? I do the following but nothing in Jessie because Matlab 2016 wants gcc 4.7.x

# https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gcc-4.7
apt-cache search gcc-4.7

However, I think apt-get is not the way to go because I just want to get gcc-4.7 in my system for Matlab, not for any other purpose. Example of the warning when using wrong gcc in Matlab

This doesn't answer your question as stated, but it solves the underlying problem: you can upgrade to Matlab 2016b, which supports GCC 4.9.
