How to use an old version of gcc-11 in Ubuntu 22.04

I tried to install CUDA 11.7 tookit on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I followed the steps on NVIDIA website:

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2204/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu2204.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu2204.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.7.0/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu2204-11-7-local_11.7.0-515.43.04-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu2204-11-7-local_11.7.0-515.43.04-1_amd64.deb
sudo cp /var/cuda-repo-ubuntu2204-11-7-local/cuda-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda

However, I failed at the last step. It returned:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.2.0-26-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/515.43.04/build/make.log for more information.

And the information in make.log was:

warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel
  The kernel was built by: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04.1) 11.3.0
  You are using:           x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0

Since I am a green hand of Linux, I guess what led to this failure is that my gcc is too new. So I tried to install gcc-11.3.0, and I used command like this:

sudo apt-get install gcc-11.3

But the terminal returned:

E: Unable to locate package gcc-11.3
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'gcc-11.3'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gcc-11.3'

Since most other similar questions are years ago, they have little help for me. Now I have no idea what should I do. Any suggestions? I would very appreciate it if you can tell me the details, or you can point what causes the problem actually.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
