Is there an easy way to get a gcc 2.95 that does not install over my current gcc 3.3 on suse ?
Yes. Download the source tarball for 2.95 and extract it. Then when you configure it, set either or both of "--program-prefix=xxx" or "--program-suffix-yyy". This will create the programs with a different name, and you then change the kernel Makefile to use the altered name for the compiler. So for example if you set "--program-suffix=-2.95" then you would change the lines (at the start of the kernel Makefile) HOSTCC=gcc-2.95 CC=gcc-2.95 then continue building the kernel.
