If you just want a place to host them, we can upload them to the GNU
ftp site. However, I was under the impression that the idea was to
sell them. The Qt and LLVM dependencies for the GUI will involve a bit
more effort to backport those libraries to RHEL 5, and a future RPM
might also need those extra libraries.

I think we should charge/accept donations for binaries. I don't want to be the moneyman but I am happy to create the RPMs. If we make it clear how much to donate and easy to find/download, then most enterprise users will gladly spend money.

Just tell me where to put the RPMs. The binaries are "only" about 80 MB.
