Stuck traveling on a windoz laptop, which is just lovely to download .bz2, since it corrupts without fail.
Anyone have .zip versions online of gcc and bintools source, or better yet a i586-elf-gcc already built?

Are you sure it's Windows? What archiving program are you using? WinRAR works fine for those types of files. Also, what about the speed/quality of your Internet connect? What download manager are you using? (Internet Explorer has a tendency of corrupting large files on low speed connections)
Maybe you're trying to extract symbolic links and special devices onto an NTFS/FAT drive which do not support such a thing? In which case a .zip won't help much either.
The official GCC and binutils from GNU should extract fine under windows. If not, try a different server. Or try the source packages that come with DJGPP, Cygwin, or MinGW.

score! Thanks, didn't even notice cygwin left the source packages on the host.
P.S for the future, /usr/src/ under cygwin's install directory.
