Another poster has already noted that this patch is available on CICA.

Unless there's a new patch I don't know about, this is the one which brings
your system up to the MSC 7.0a version.  That's the good news; the bad news
is that it contains no changes whatever to the C compiler itself.  All of
the changes are to the support utilities (make, link, etc.).  So...if you're
encountering a problem with the compiler itself the patch disk won't help
you, but it may provide relief if you've got problems with the other 
stuff.

I don't know if Microsoft has changed the floppies they're distributing
to reflect the 7.0a level, but the CD-ROM distribution (when they finally
started shipping in September) included the fixes.
