Hmmm, I've been thinking about trying xen for sometime, just to see what its 
all about. For this task its a rather overkill, but still might try it anyway 
sometime just for kicks.

As for installing centos in full, I don't have the disk space for that 
unfortunately (I'm not giving fc for it).

Looks like I'm sticking with the ./configure approach. These is an option to 
add a suffix to all binaries, so I can install them as custom "gcc-345" etc., 
just like the compat rpms. Simplest solution I think.
