If you execute the same commands you would use to set up the compiler on top of the following command (as root) it should (as I understand it) install it on the node image as if it was an actual computer. Then when you install the nodes you shouldn't have to do anything else to them.
chroot /var/lib/systemimager/images/<imagename> <command> ex chroot /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage rpm -Uvh mycompiler.rpm I had to play around in the image a bit when I was trying to take out openPBS and put in Torque. It is suprisingly easy. Now, if you just need to change config files or some other static file, those (except those altered by sysimager) should just get coppied over verbatum so you don't need to play around with chroot. Make sure the image has all the dependancies installed too, I don't know how good at returning intelegable errors chroot is. I didn't have any problems with it myself.
