IIRC the cuda installer lets you override the check for the gcc version (try running the installer ".run" file with the "--help" option).
Note that overrides the gcc check during installation--there's no guarantee that compilations will work. Cuda uses certain gcc flags that may be deprecated or non-existent in newer gcc implementations.

need cuda. The latest is cuda 7.5 and that requires gcc 4.9. I installed cuda on my machine, but little did I know that fedora 24, which I recently installed, came with gcc 6.1. I wasn't able to compile any of the cuda examples. I asked on the nvidia forums about this and the next cuda (version 8.0) will require gcc-5.3 or so. No indication when cuda will work with gcc-6.1. So what do I do now? From some posts I read it appears that debian provides a gcc49 package, and so I hoped fedora would provide one too, but no such luck. Can I rebuild the gcc-4.9 rpm on F24 without messing up the stock gcc-6.1? Or, can I convert the gcc49.deb package into the equivalent rpm? I can try these things and try to be careful not to mess up, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or any suggestions.
