How do I get yum to download that specific version? 'yum list gcc\*' or yum list '*gcc*' should show you all the packages with gcc in the name. See if one is v3.5.

This isn't really yum dependent and may depend on the packages, however the proper setting of the CC environment variable will help, and any others you may need to build successfully. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
