Gcc 3 was only kept in OpenBSD to support the m88k architecture. Last year, miod@ tracked down and fixed the final bug blocking use of gcc 4 on m88k and thus, on 2025-10-23 the gcc3 sources were removed from the trunk of the OpenBSD cvs tree. We’re down to just two compilers again! You can find the final version of those sources by checking out that date (or maybe the day before) of the gnu/usr.bin/gcc/ directory in the OpenBSD cvs tree.
