Well, I did gather that they do not want to upgrade - possibly due to
some thrd party dependency.
Perhaps they can do what another op suggested - install
any version compiler in a separate dir. But even there, they
will need a complete chroot environment. I had to do it at one
place of employment where we were doing embedded linux
development. Every time we needed to upgrade GCC, we compiled
it within the chroot env of the target OS, and then deployed it as
part of the cross-compiler tools set that was used on different
linux platforms.
