A link in the OpenVMS FAQ will take you to:

ftp://vms.gnu.org/progis_mirror/gcc/

And then proceed to:

ftp://ftp.qsl.net/pub/wb8tyw/

To get some possible missing pieces.  There are header files for using the
socket routines and the LIBERTY porting library.  It is probably a bit out
of date from the LINUX versions, but I have not seen anyone admit to a later
revision.

Extra Credit:
Fix up the main GCC image so that it works using the .CLD file.  It
currently only works using a foreign command and the source provided does
not seem to match the executable or the .CLD file.

The reason that I am no longer working with GCC is that DEC C is available
free with the OpenVMS hobby program.
