OK, installed 4.9 but am running into additional issues:

sudo apt-get --yes remove gcc g++ gcc-4.6 c++-4.6
sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --yes install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9
60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9

./configure --disable-chromaprint --disable-ncurses --disable-cddb
--disable-xcb --prefix=/usr

# Workaround for:

# checking for c11-gcc... no
# checking for c11... no

# configure: error: Cannot find native C99 compiler: please define BUILDCC.
BUILDCC="/usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99" ./configure --disable-chromaprint
--disable-ncurses --disable-cddb --disable-xcb --prefix=/usr

# Need a workaround for:

ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/c99-gcc
