But you can use official RHEL DTS packages which provide newer compilers
too.
Which is exactlty what is happening where I work. So even w/o going as far
as compiling
your own GCC from source, you can (relatively) easily use much newer GCC,
in our case
9.1.1 from DTS9 on RHEL7 with C++17. Why be limited to the default system
compiler?
