I can't resist an opportunity to plug an old hobby of mine.

Like, oh, say ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/ ?

There are even a couple of patches to gcc 1.40 for MIPS processors
in the archive from some meissner@osf.ORG guy.  

Every old version of GCC that I could dig up back in '95 is in this
dir -- if anyone has an older version of gcc that I'm missing
(anything older than 1.35), drop me a line.  I'm pretty certain that
I scrounged up every old GCC version that is on public ftp sites back
when I assembled this collection.
