That's because the FSF never released such a version.

If you want binary compatibility with the compiler supplied in old
Redhat distributions, you should compile that very same compiler from
the SRPMs of that distro.  Redhat shipped a heavily patched/forked gcc
during that timeframe, and it's unlikely that something you'd build from
a FSF release would be completely compatible.
