It should be save because gcc.a in the gpc distribution is (or: should be)
the same as gcc.a in the gcc-2.7.2.1 distribution.  I recommend you to try
to run gpc with gcc.a from your gcc/g77 setup first.  (I do not need to
mention that you should backup your gcc.a first before replacing it with
gpc's one, do I? ;-)

Good luck, and let us know about your experience!
Yours,

    Peter
