You can run any kernel in stable I just build 4.14 make oldconfig make -j4 deb-pkg what has gcc7 to do with the patches is unclear to me, but I admit I have never worried about. My conclusion to this Spectre and Meltdown hysteria is, that a single machine in a secure environment is not exactly endangered. People should better take care of their mobile devices, especially phones and tablets, where you need neither Spectre nor Meltdown to compromise. regards
