Upgrading gcc

I'm currently helping a friend upgrade his copy of Darktable.
The latest snag is that the build process wants GCC 12, while
his machine, running Mint 21, only has GCC 11.  After scanning
the web for advice, I've tried to upgrade the compiler.  At
best I got to where typing "gcc --version" on the command line
reports version 12, but Darktable's build.sh still managed to
find (and reject) the old GCC 11.  Any ideas, short of doing
a dist-upgrade to Mint 22?
