I'm asking here if this is appropriate or, if not, how can I modify it so gcc-5 can
make it into EPEL.

This sounds very much like a software collection (SCL) and I don't
believe we have a agreed policy on how that is done for EPEL (see list
archives)
I agree. At this moment, I don't think Fedora packages can have things
in /opt/ or /usr/local so I think this currently falls outside of what
could be put in EPEL.
