You can download Fedora RPM's and try to install them. Usually, if the dependencies are satisfied the packages will work. If the Fedora packages for GCC require other Fedora packages, you can also download and install them. Then repeat this process recursively until all dependencies will be satisfied. However this process may require to replace many packages and require rewriting of some configs. Actually this process works (however, it requires a lot of manual work) and I used this process to completely update some my servers (those which could not be physically accessed for reinstallation) to never distributions since RH6.
