Plugin support for gcc in RHEL/CentOS?

Question

Is there anyway to enable or install plugin support for gcc in RHEL/CentOS?

Answer 1

Plugin support for GCC was added in 4.5 and so it is not available in RHEL 5 and 6 without building a newer version of GCC from source or without using the devtoolset.

Also, a branch was made to backport plugin support to gcc 4.4, but I'm not sure what the status of that build is and it doesn't appear to be available as an RPM for CentOS/RHEL.
