sorry, but still noone has answered my question about the download of a stable source version for GPC. Is there any available? If so, where?
Perhaps someone has set up a mirror, I don't know ATM. I hope the main site will be back soon ...
Can you give me directions as how to compile and install GCC locally (i.e. as non-root) and then GPC in the same way?
Usually using a `--prefix=$HOME/usr' (or similar) argument to configure, and (if not done yet) putting ~/usr/bin (or similar) into PATH.
Which GCC version should I compile to compile the latest GPC snapshot (the only downloadable file at the time being)?
3.2.x, 3.3.x or 3.4.3 should all work well. If you need to download one anyway, I suggest 3.4.3. (This is the source GCC you need for building GPC. The installed GCC compiler versions shouldn't matter much, just use the one you have installed.)
