That compiler was shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.0, if I
read the history correctly, and Red Hat stopped supporting
that version years ago.  Our general rule of thumb is that
we don't bother supporting software that the original supplier
no longer supports.

Is another, more up-to-date compiler available on that old
installation?  That might be the easiest way to get going.
