When looking at the webpage:
    http://www.xgc.com/xgc/gcc-1750/prod01.htm

I saw that the XGC version, 'GCC-1750' was funded by European Space Agency,
is a derived work of GCC, but probably never tried to pass through the FSF 
bureacracy... The equivalent 32-bit Sparc/ERC32-system seems to 
'contributed'...

 The XGC-ERC32-version for Win32 host was downloadable sometimes, now I 
couldn't find the 'download' in the webpage...

 Looking at the ESA-site, I found something at:
    ftp://ftp.estec.esa.nl/pub/ws/wsd/1750a/

 Cheers, Kai
