   3) yum --installroot=`pwd`/foo -y -v install gcc 

   4) set-up PATH for usr/local/bin and usr/bin

   5) set-up LD_LIBRARY_PATH for usr/lib64

   6) soft-link to make perl5 visible from its default location

   7) work-around the bug in the installation of ld (replace
      soft-absolute-links in installation by soft-relative-links)

   8) build
