There is a wealth of both source code packages AND precompiled binary packages for Solaris to be found at:

Don't be put off if you select your current OS and it's a later one (such as Solaris 8 or 9) and you can't find what you are looking for. At the application level, for the most part, Solaris binaries work just fine on later OS releases if they were compiled under 2.5.1 or later, so look back through S7 and S6 if you can't locate something you are looking for. Gcc is definitely out on that site for several OS releases.

The way I've solved it in the past on Solaris boxes was to use a precompiled binary of gcc to bootstrap. It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, there was a precompiled binary somewhere (for Solaris), which could then be used to do a full install. I do not know, whether this is also true for SCO.
