Add

exclude=glibc*

to your /etc/yum.conf

It seems to be a VPS problem. A google search implies the above work around fixes it.

Just carious frednoob, did this solution work for you?
When I tried it I got a failed dependency error.

Below is what did work for me on Virtuozzo.

# yum remove glibc-dummy-centos-4
# yum -y install gcc*
