I am sure that you know much more about this than I do. But I
installed devtoolset on Scientific Linux 6.3, derived from RHEL 6.3,
and it allows the use of new compilers with the old os.
Example of information about it:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/2/html/2.0_Release_Notes/DTS2.0_Release.html
[1]
Perhaps the home page of that:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/
[2]
It included a tool tool, scl, that enables one to have a separate
bash
shell that calls the newly installed gcc.
Note last thing on this page:
http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset/index.shtml [3]
That is for the odd app, though, not for the whole distribution.
I'm not saying you cannot rebuild the entire distribution
with a different compiler and toolchain; I am saying that if you
do it will no longer be the same distribution.
i.e. if you build an EL6 clone based on a different toolchain, it
is arguably no longer EL6. It'd be
"Dennis' hard-float-sort-of-but-not-really-el6 distribution".
I was interested in seeing if I could port the ROOT software from
CERN
to a Cubieboard running Fedora 18 beta ARM but wasn't totally
successful.
I never could get Redsleeve to boot on my Cubieboard so couldn't try
compiling the devtoolset on it.
I don't have a cubieboard so don't have any specific words of wisdom,
but if you can explain what you tried and what the failure symptoms
are, I'm sure somebody here can help you get it up and running.
I just got RedSleeve running on a Samsung Chromebook, and it took
less than half an hour, and most of it went on decompressing the
rootfs tar ball onto a slow SD card.
