Following up again, I installed CentOS 7 in a VM and discovered that
binutils currently won't build on it, so all discussions of GCC for RHEL
7 are moot at the moment.

I personally have no interest in fixing this, but thought I should point
it out in case anyone is still using RHEL 7 derivatives (EOL June 2024).

I do all my testing on Alma 8, which has a modern enough compiler that I
don't need pkgsrc GCC (yet).
