You can get a 1997 draft here:

I don't believe any compiler has implemented the full standard yet.
There may be some things in the 1995 standard that have been
changed since then. Is there a particular feature you're looking for?

It was formally adopted several months ago. That helps explain why
the compiler writers still haven't implemented everything yet.

Egcs is the version that's actively being developed. If you have
an earlier gcc version, for instance 2.8, that's different: I hear
that no one is working on that anymore.
