The latest release of g77 is g77-3.4.1, part of gcc-3.4.1. Binaries can
be found by following the entry "Binaries" in the left column of our
home page (http://gcc.gnu.org).

In general it will. Little has changed over the years in the library.

There probably is, but I do not know of one off-hand. Look into the
mailing list archive at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2004-07/
to see who uses a cygwin system and ask them how to get a binary version
of gcc-3.5.0. Note that that version hasn't been released yet and is
*experimental*.

See our "Binaries" entry that I alluded to above.

OK, if you think there's a real compiler bug, contact us again at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/.
