Sure, just get and install the sources for the matching GCC release,
build that and install it in /usr/local (or wherever you want) before
attempting to build g77.  You'll end up with two basically identical
releases of GCC, but you will be able to build G77.  Get the up-to-date
GDB at the same time.
