Something similar, it's done via SIG. We have SIG virt in which we build Xen packages among others. And there's a SIG which building newer version of GCC, we already use it to build the Linux kernel with a newer version of GCC. So we should be able to setup the Xen packages to build with a newer version of GCC, at least in CentOS 7. (I still have to look again at CentOS 8 or Stream.) > Also, I think we do maintain Xen on CentOS using a separate > repository, so newer versions of Xen will be added to CentOS.
