You can't do that.

The code that gcc emits assumes a particular revision of the standard
C library. The kernel interface used by the standard C library
assumes a particular kernel version. All three components must be in
harmony before anything will work at all, let alone reliably.

So, if you must keep RHL7.2, then keep it and don't try to make a
frankensystem out of it. If you don't have a business reason to keep
7.2, then update to Fedora Core.
