Try ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/systems/os2/gnu/emx+gcc/
(but an archie search may find other sites more convenient)

You need most (if not all) of the following files:
g77bin.zip
emxrt.zip
emxdev1.zip
emxdev2.zip
gnudev1.zip
gnudev2.zip

Although this system is designed for OS/2, it works find under MS-DOS on my
home computer.  I think g77 has now reached the point where it is better
than f2c in nearly all aspects, but a recent news message suggested that
f2c could still produce faster executable code in some circumstances.

When I got these files they contained g77 version 0.5.18, I think 0.5.19 is
now current, but there are few changes as far as I know.
