Nope, we took all the old, extra gcc (i.e., gcc-g77, gcc-objc, gcc-g++) stuff
off the current release. It is still available here, though:

linux.fnal.gov/linux/502/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gcc-*-2.7.2...

The reason we did that is because the FUE group is forging ahead with the
latest and greatest egcs (soon to be gcc-2.9.x) which has all the bells and
whistles that we need/want, as far as I understand.
