If the new gcc source rpm is available, all the user has to do is: sudo yum-builddep gcc-xx.yy.xx.src.rpm THIS WILL INSTALL ANY NEEDED DEPENDENCIES THAT GCC NEEDS . This has the great possibility that many existing packages that would need to be updated will have such a far reaching dependency chain, that it would break the current installation. Assuming all went well, and no conflicts arose, rpm -ivh gcc-xx.yy.xx.src.rpm cd .....
