Yes.

Doing a full system install is just the easy way for some (by no means
everyone). If you can get the newer compiler installed in parallel then
it should be possible to build Squid-4 with the new compiler.
 Although what I know of RPM systems that parallel install can be far
from an easy proposition.

You may want a VM if its just for play. It wont run as fast as it would
on bare metal, but well enough for testing.
