There is catalog of free compilers and interpreters,
which includes GNU C/C++ compiler. Here the appropriate info:

language:   C, C++, Objective-C, RTL
package:    GNU CC (gcc)
version:    2.6.3
parts:      compiler, runtime, examples, documentation
       Library listed separately
author:     Richard Stallman <rms@prep.ai.mit.edu> and others
location:   ftp gcc-2.X.X.tar.gz from a GNU archive site
    MSDOS:  ftp pub/msdos/djgpp/* from oak.oakland.edu
    6811:   ftp pub/coactive/gcc-6811-beta.tar.gz from netcom.com
            (these are diffs from 2.5.8 distribution)
description:    A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++,
        Objective-C.  The compiler is designed to support multiple
        front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first
        into RTL (Register Transfer Language) and from there into
        assembly for the target architecture.   Front ends for
        Ada, Pascal, and Fortran are all under development.
conformance:    C: superset of K&R C and ANSI C.
        C++: not exactly cfront 3.0? [could someone tell me which
        version of cfront it is equivalent to, if any?  --ed]
        Objective-C: ?
