Maybe it would be a little less of "DIY-lobotomy" (or "gender
reassignment", whichever you prefer :) if you install sid onto the usb
drive instead and leave your default system intact.
But then, if you are running buster and desperately want to
build your own kernel *now*, you could probably just replace buster's
gcc-7.2 with sid's 7.3 to keep you going.
