Linux application upgrade ways

Hello. I need upgrade memcached. This software is installed throuth yum. In official repositories isn`t newest version of memcached, but this one is vulnerable. So looks like I need built it from source, but I dont really want to install c libraries un compilers on system.

1.) So can I compile memcached on similar Linux Centos 5 system and copy over only libs? Which libs, what are the main directories where to copy and how that could be performed?

2.) How you guys actually doing application upgrades on linux systems?
With package managers - apt, yum thats not possible to keep applications updated.
