OK, this is tedious.

So you can do

  # yum install centos-release-scl-rh

which seems to add some repositories, so you can then get
devtoolset-3-gcc (gcc 4.9) and devtoolset-4-gcc (gcc 5).

Then you do, as Adam said,

  # yum install epel-release

and you then get freetds-devel and hiredis-devel available.

Then you have to

  $ scl enable devtoolset-3 bash

to get gcc available.

And people pay to go through this.

Thanks all - I'll be able to move forward a bit now. Maybe all
that needs updating is the build documentation.
