I suggesting that you build Calibre yourself, or find someone who has done so atop CentOS 7. Beware: the most recent major release of Calibre also requires Python 3. They finally cut off all Python 2 support. Alternately, upgrade to CentOS 8, which uses GCC 8. I 100% agree with Warren. When my users really want newer compiler on "not the latest" CentOS (say, they need c++11 features), I just download gcc version that satisfies them, compile, and install it into separate place, like, e.g., /usr/local/gcc620. And that makes them happy. I hope, this helps.
