Compiling compilers is usually much more complicated than p4est. You can have a 
look at what Spack does in this Python class 
https://github.com/LLNL/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/gcc/package.py
But frankly I don’t think we need those instructions. In majority of cases 
users have a working compiler already. If not, you can use Spack to compile GCC 
and then the whole dealii, high level instructions are here 
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/wiki/deal.II-in-Spack
Note that you do NOT need admin rights to use it, it’s perfectly fine to do 
everything in your home folder. 

It was also mentioned above that there are newer versions of gcc available as 
Linux packages (for that u would need admin rights)

Denis
