I guess some guy in BUPT "attacked" gcc.gnu.org somehow (maybe unintentionally,
just playing or testing some software) and caused the entire IP segment to be
banned.

You should contact the administrator of gcc.gnu.org.  In the meantime try

    git clone https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/gcc.git

It would be very fast since this mirror is in your city :).

(OT: Several BUPT students commenced some unsported behavior in our programming
contests.  So our online judge is also banning BUPT IP segments.)
