Sorry for causing you trouble.  :-(

Fortunately, there are gcc 4.8 packages for RHEL5 in DTS2:

 http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2013/09/12/rh-dts2-ga/

Hopefully the number of users that want new gdb but can't install that
will be limited.

Note that just like gcc, gdb builds with -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc.
