Strictly speaking, you don't need an RPM.
And if you're going to "roll your own GCC", as you indicated:
# find some space, about 200-300 MB should do
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.2/gcc-3.2.tar.gz
tar xzf gcc-3.2.tar.gz
cd gcc-3.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make bootstrap
make install
The 'make bootstrap' takes a long time, two hours for me,
probably longer if you build in an NFS-resident directory.
Once the 'make install' has finished, you'll have
/usr/local/bin/gcc
Enjoy!
