getting gcc to co exist is not an easy task. 2.91 is really out of date, you
especially do not want it for C++ code. Compiling the kernel or a few other
items may even fail.
Rather than a full install why not make a minimal RH system on a test machine
and then tar it up to be used as a chroot? Compile what much be compiled in
there almost like a cross-compile setup.
