ok, gcc 4.1.2 was bundled with CentOS 5 (I forgot I had one centos 5
legacy test/dev system left alive)... you can yum install gcc44
gcc44-c++ to get 4.4.7, is that new enough? note this installs the
compiler as /usr/bin/gcc44 and g++44 so you'll need to update any of
your build scripts to specify gcc44 and/or g++44 to use this newer version.
