The GCC project doesn't provide binaries to install, but others
provide them for various operating systems.  If your OS is listed at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html then follow the relevant
link.

If you're using GNU/Linux you should be able to install the compiler
via your system's package manager.

To get the very latest version you might need to compile it yourself,
by downloading the sources from the nearest mirror site
(http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html) and then following the instructions
at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

To make it simpler to download and build I wrote a makefile that does
everything necessary:
