The topic here (drift aside) is how this fellow can accomplish a certain goal on his machine, not how you can tell him how to administer his machine. $ yum install gcc is the answer. "Get the originator to build an RPM for you, or learn how to do it yourself, or just do without." is not.
Oh, and I forgot to mention... If he's going to build the RPM himself, he still needs to run ./configure + make, and for that he *still* needs to get gcc first. So, even if he's going to follow your advice about learning how to build an RPM, he needs the answer you so cleverly refused to give.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
