Newer versions of gcc are more strict with regard to language
standards, particularly when writing in C++.

You can download gcc 3.2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ and build it
yourself. I don't know if the package from the older version of
CentOS would run on the newer version. You'd have to ask somebody who
works with CentOS.
You could also consider fixing your code to be more standards
conformant.
