Huh, that's one of the few things that built with no problems on
Scientific Linux 6.x, after I did this:

mkdir -p ${HOME}/target/share/aclocal
echo `/usr/bin/aclocal --print-ac-dir` >> ${HOME}/target/share/aclocal/dirlist
export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${HOME}/target/lib64:${HOME}/target/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LIBRARY_PATH=${HOME}/target/lib64:${HOME}/target/lib
export PATH=${HOME}/target/bin:/usr/lib64/qt4/bin:${PATH}
export PYTHONDOCS=${HOME}/target/share/doc/python-2.7.11
export 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${HOME}/target/lib64/pkgconfig:${HOME}/target/lib/pkgconfig:${HOME}/target/share/pkgconfig

and I installed the following from source or PIP:

binutils-2.26.tar.gz (source)
gcc-4.9.3.tar.gz (source)
   gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
   mpfr-2.4.2.tar.gz
   mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz
   isl-0.12.2.tar.bz2
   cloog-0.18.1.tar.gz
m4-1.4.17.tar.gz (source)
autoconf-2.69.tar.gz (source)
automake-1.15.tar.gz (source)
bison-3.0.4.tar.gz (source)
Python-2.7.11.tgz (source)
boost_1_53_0.tar.bz2 (source)
pip (using get-pip.py)
libevent-2.0.22-stable.tar.gz (source)
twisted (pip)

I can't recall the thrift deps that I installed with YUM, but they are
most certainly old and from the SciLinux or EPEL repos.

Then this thrift build process worked:

git clone https://github.com/apache/thrift.git
cd thrift
git checkout 0.9.3
./bootstrap.sh && ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/target \
  --with-c_glib --with-cpp --with-libevent --with-python \
  --without-csharp --without-d --without-erlang --without-go \
  --without-haskell --without-java --without-lua --without-nodejs \
  --without-perl --without-php --without-ruby --without-zlib \
  --without-qt4 --without-qt5 \
  --disable-tests --disable-tutorial \
  CC=gcc CXX=g++ PY_PREFIX=${HOME}/target CXXFLAGS="-DNDEBUG"
make -j 5
make install
cd ..

I recall a nagging dependency was the libevent 2.x stuff.  There's
headers for <event2/...> or something like that, which thrift needs,
that is not in older versions of libevent.

FWIW, Thift lists its requirements here:
http://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/
http://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/centos
