Sorry, it got buried in my mailbox along with a couple dozen other things
this month and I forgot :(

You can find a copy at:

ftp://ftp.toddpw.org/private/mcc

(Note, the 'private' directory is execute-only, so it will appear empty if
you try to browse it. The complete URL works when I test it.)

One problem that prevents you from just using this as-is, however, is that
the configurations currently in GDB either assume nmake or cygwin. Since I
have not been able to schedule getting my "mccwin32" host changes split out
into nice diffs and submitted, the only easy way to get these patches right
now is as part of a modified GDB 4.17 that is hacked up for VxWorks targets,
yet the source base still contains references to stuff that we only supply
to customers (who can also get a GNU source CD by asking for it, of course).

I can put up a gutted tarball with just the *mcc* files and the source files
with #ifdef MCC_WIN32 hacks in them. I've started on that but it's still too
big to fit on the ftp site. I'll send another email when that is up.
