Here's the information on accessing the GCC sources via CVS:

http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html

To try out Cray pointers in gfortran, apply this patch in the fortran 
subdirectory:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-08/msg00289/cp_patch_8_15c.diff

Once you've built gfortran, use the -fcray-pointer flag to enable the 
Cray pointer extension.
