One of the major reasons for starting the egcs project was that it was
so extremely difficult to locate the gcc2 source code - something
which you are suffering from right now.
At the point in the GCC2 project in question, the problem wasn't difficulty
in getting to the sources (they were available via cvs), but that very few
were interested in doing so.
I have heard many motivations for the start of the egcs project, but the one
above is new to me: I was not aware of any legitimate developer or tester
who had problems getting to GCC development sources at any point.
