I think I tried building Mate 1.22 on CentOS 7 but ran into issues where it needed a newer GCC than CentOS 7 provides, and I wasn't up for the complexity challenge of building it using a different toolchain...  :)

CentOS 7 has the softwarecollections repo with the devtoolset packages, eg
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/Packages/d/devtoolset-7-gcc-7.3.1-5.16.el7.x86_64.rpm
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/Packages/d/devtoolset-7-gcc-c++-7.3.1-5.16.el7.x86_64.rpm

I haven't tried on SL7/CentOS7/RHEL7 but on SL6, the devtoolset packages make using a newer GCC trivial with the "scl" command.

I do admit that I prefer the environment modules I have written as
an alternative to scl (they change the environment of the existing shell rather than putting me in a new shell with the new compilers).
