Is there a repository containing packages for old versions of gcc, for the latest Ubuntu. I want to install gcc3 alongside gcc 4, for programs that need gcc3 specifically.

You can use debian snapshots. Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main
Now do
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install g++-3.4
And you're set!
This works for many other old packages, make sure you select the correct timestamp, look for the correct one at snapshots.debian website.

Add the debian snapshot repository. You might want to check out a tutorial how to add repositories to debian. Nov 16, 2014 at 9:37

Or alternatively to the Debian snapshots Elazar posted in his answer, you can use the Ubuntu package repositories for the older Ubuntu releases: http://packages.ubuntu.com
Add them to the /etc/apt/sources.list as Elazar already described:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
The Hardy Universe repository is the one that contains gcc-3.4.
You can add gcc-4.4 (or any version between 4.4 and 8) on Ubuntu 16.04 via the (Toolchain test builds PPA)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test sudo apt-get update sudo apt install gcc-4.4
As an aside, if you need to emulate gcc-4.4 on RH6, build your target program with
make CC="gcc-4.4 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE"

1No, this doesn't work on modern ubuntu, apt can't find any new gcc versions, other then those available before.– stivFeb 12, 2020 at 17:00
For 4.2.3 I had to add
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
to my /etc/apt/sources.list
For GCC 3.4 the correct source url is as below, since the old ones are moved into old-releases.ubuntu.com. Thanks to @Ignitor for the main pointer
edit
/etc/apt/sources.list
for breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy etc
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
from xenial
apt update
apt install gcc-3.4
gcc-3.3 is available in all current stable releases (In lucid, it is available in lucid-backports)
List of binaries available per release
You can see the above list with the following commands:
Source package list:
rmadison gcc-3.3
Source and binary list:
rmadison gcc-3.3 -S
Here is how to install the old GCC versions on Bionic (18.04).
For GCC 4.4 and 4.6:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main'
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty universe'
sudo apt install gcc-4.4 gcc-4.6
For GCC 4.7 and 4.9:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe'
sudo apt install gcc-4.7 gcc-4.9
And GCC 4.8 is already available:
sudo apt install gcc-4.8
On Ubuntu 18.04, I did:
sudo apt install gcc-opt
to install gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4, and gcc-4.0

This package only installs symlinks named gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4, and gcc-4.0. Jun 14, 2020 at 15:22
