Like I said, the 2.x version is buggy under Cygwin.  See also
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2003-10/msg00003.html> 
Proceed at your own risk.  If you want to continue, Google for the
filename of the package and find an old mirror that still has the
package.  I believe the last released version was called gcc2-2.95.3-10
so Google for "gcc2-2.95.3-10.tar.bz2" and/or
"gcc2-2.95.3-10-src.tar.bz2".  Please don't expect the list to help if
this doesn't work, as it's not supported.
