If you hunt around, you might find a copy of the old gcc2 package for
cygwin, but note that it was officially withdrawn due to being buggy. (I

Fix Galib to work with gcc 3.
Really, gcc2 is *dead*. Gcc 3 is now on it's 5th minor version, and it's
been with us for quite some time. It's time to move on.
