gcc.gnu.org does not distribute the compiler as a ready-to-execute
  binary. gcc.gnu.org distributes the compiler in source
  code form, which requires that you already have a compiler for your
  system.

Which precompiled compiler you need, and where you can get it depends on
  your platform (operating system + hardware arch).
