Description
RedHat and CentOS systems use "software collections" to make new compilers available:
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-8/
These compilers live in predictable locations, and cmake-tools kit scanning should check these locations for kit choices, perhaps even labelled "devtoolset-8", etc.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names cmake-tools kit scanning but no source files or tests. Start by locating the Linux kit-scanning entry point and existing compiler discovery logic; done means predictable Red Hat and CentOS software-collection compiler locations are scanned and the resulting kits can be labeled with names such as devtoolset-8.
