Sorry for causing you trouble. :-(

Fortunately, there are gcc 4.8 packages for RHEL5 in DTS2:
https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-releases-red-hat-developer-toolset-2-0-with-update-to-gcc
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.
