Complete!

Step 4a: install zlib

yum install -y zlib-devel

Step 5:

./configure \
--prefix=$HOME/gcc \
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ \
--enable-shared \
--without-included-gettext \
--enable-threads=posix \
--enable-nls \
--enable-clocale=gnu \
--enable-libstdcxx-time=yes \
--with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new \
--enable-libmpx \
--disable-multilib \
--with-system-zlib

Step 6:

make

This step takes so long 😀 be patient 😀

Step 7:

make install

Done! 😀 now we have gcc in $HOME/gcc/bin
