From the egcs web pages:
The source archive egcs111s.zip contains all the sources to build
all compilers (C, C++, Objective C, GNU Fortran, GNU Pascal) and also C++
and Fortran libraries (libstdcxx.a, libgpp.a and libf2c.a). 
I included in source archive libg++-2.8.1.3 and sources of latest GNU Pascal 
beta version which are not a part of egcs-1.1.2 distribution. 

NOTES: LFN support is required to build egcs-1.1.2 (and additional included 
       packages) from sources 

LFN support is not required to use the binaries but it IS REQUIRED to build
egcs-1.1.2 and additional packages included in source archive

But the binary archives are split into 5 parts:

  gcce112b.zip : The gcc.exe driver program and the C compiler.
                 It also contains the documentation.
  gppe112b.zip : The C++ compiler and libstdcxx.a together 
                 with needed header files 
  objce112.zip : The OBJC compiler and libobjc.a and the needed
                 header files.
  g77e112b.zip : GNU Fortran compiler (version 0.5.24) and libg2c.a
                 and g2f.h. 
  gpce112b.zip : GNU Pascal (beta 19990118) binaries
  lgpe112b.zip : libg++-2.8.1.3 binary archive (needed if You want 
                 to use it). Using libg++ for new programs is not 
                 recommended as this library is no more maintained. 

The archive gcce112b.zip is also required by gppe112b.zip, objce112.zip
and g77e112b.zip, gpce112b.zip.
