Sounds like we could do everyone a service by coming up with a recipe for
installing gcc 2.95[.3] on a 7.x system.  Something like:

    1) ftp.gnu.org, get gcc...tar.gz (just one file?)
    2) cd /somewhere/good; mv gcc...tar.gz .
    3) tar zxvf gcc...tar.gz
    4) more README; more INSTALL
    5) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
    6) make
    7) su; make install

or some variation on this theme, especially if we could find an RPM
containing the 2.95 compiler that was either relocatable or had /usr/local
as the prefix.
