To add: There are no binaries of GCC released by the GCC project or the FSF. Thus it is best to stick to the GCC packages which come with your Linux version. If you need newer versions, you could consider updating your Linux or try to find newer builds on some build server, which some Linux distributions have. Otherwise, you could consider building GCC yourself, cf. http://gcc.gnu.org/install/. (Furthermore, some gfortran developers offer regular GCC builds, which are linked at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries; those are all unofficial builds, come without any warrantee/support, and due to, e.g., library issues they may not work on your system.) Unless you need a newer version because of some new feature or because of a fixed bug, I would stay with the GCC of the Linux distribution and - if needed be - I would update the installed Linux.
