All old versions of all tools should still be available. However, it's
possible that they won't solve your problem: e.g. when you use a compiler
that's old enough to run on CentOS 6, then it will probably be too old to
support the C++11 features that V8 uses nowadays.

Your best bet is probably to use the GYP build and the system toolchain (as
opposed to the bundled clang/sysroot) and figure out what the names of the
required CentOS packages are.

Regarding "official support": we never claimed to officially support *all*
Linux distros/versions. We currently target Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS);
newer versions should work, older versions are down to their own luck. As
you have discovered on this mailing list, RedHat/CentOS have traditionally
been problematic due to shipping much older system libraries than Ubuntu
LTS.
