Is installing gcc into your home dir an option? If so, you can utilise the
gcc configure switch "--with-local-prefix=" to good effect. If you go to:-

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

you'll read this paragraph:-

"The same value can be used for both --with-local-prefix and --prefix
provided it is not /usr. This can be used to avoid the default search of
/usr/local/include."


Not really on topic for garnome :)
