I didn't have any problems getting gcc 1.36 (the latest source I can
find around here) to compile and run on my Interactive 2.0.2 system.

I don't recall having to do any special gyrations to get gcc to compile,
but have heard from others that trying to get it to work under Xenix was
a major problem...
