    I'm looking for a distribution copy of gcc-2.2.2.tar.Z.  I have
    some code which works well on it with a Sun platform, but crashes
    w/ gcc-2.4.5 on a Silicon Graphics.

To stick with an old version forever may avoid one bug.  But 2.2.2 has
lots of bugs that have been fixed since, and you will encounter some
of them from time to time.

What we need to do is to fix the bug.

We can fix it, if you send a bug report with the necessary
information.  One piece of information that only you can efficiently
determine is which line of your program has been miscompiled.  The
process of doing this is just like the process of finding a bug in
your own program; only the end result is different (instead of finding
an incorrect line in the source, you find one that doesn't execute the
way it is written).

Please read the Bugs chapter in the GCC manual for other information
about what a bug report needs to have in order to enable the
maintainers to fix a bug.
