Hi,

I need/want/would like to build new node 6 for EL6, but gcc is too old.
For that reason, I'd like to use devtoolset-4-gcc, but the build fails
(obviously) because the package doesn't exist.

So, is there a way to make that work somehow?
I am not sure about enabling external repos during build, maybe someone
will be wiser.

This has already been discussed several times:

There are some potential roadblocks, but it comes down to someone writing up an official proposal and going through the full approval process.
