Same place you get hold of the old version of gcc and gmake, if you feel you need that level of reproducability. This is actually not as unfair a comparison as it may seem since the behavior of gcc and gmake both affect the Makefile.in's generated by `make dist', and thus the behavior of the version used affects what the user will see In fact, some "configuration management" systems keep the toolchain under revision control for similar reasons. - Maciej
