So I don't have any CentOS 7 system up and running somewhere. Can you check if this ominous Red Hat Developer Toolset can be found on your CentOS 7 machine and what the package name is? If so, that still doesn't have to mean that the build servers in the Fedora infrastructure responsible for building EPEL packages have the same package available, but I can try, at least.
