Because long ago, Cygnus (now part of Red Hat) contributed hosting for the
egcs project, and it happens to be the same machine. The egcs project
had a very nice setup, and when egcs became GCC it was kept.
But gcc.gnu.org is a different virtual host (for http purposes) than
sourceware.org, so you only notice it's the same machine if you use
ftp or check the IP address.
