@vitaliylag made really awesome job in #174 !
I like most of the changes, but building gcc and several versions of python looks a bit overkill.

My main need is modern nodejs on the legacy el7, so I fixed x64-glibc-217 only.

I assume that modern gcc and python can build old nodejs versions also.
Moreover, we already have them in the repo, so who cares to rebuild them once again.
But if we really want to use different gcc and python versions for previous nodejs builds, we can do that gracefully with conda/mamba:
