See egcs.cygnus.com. The EGCS compiler has most of the compiler
frontends in one package. Unfortunetly, there have been some
improvements from the GCC sources, and a front end that will compile
against GCC 2.8.1 won't compile against EGCS. For example, GNAT won't
compile with it. Since ACT isn't intrested, and Cygnus isn't interested
enough to pull people to work on it, the nesseccary patches to GNAT
aren't forthcoming. My advice is to compile EGCS into /usr/local/egcs
and then simlink to /usr/local/ using names like egcc or whatever. The
frontends that come with EGCS are C, C++, Objective C, and Fortran.
Pascal will compile against it, too, if you get the package from
elsewhere.
