./configure --program-suffix=-2.95 (that went okay)
Don't do that. Install to another prefix, preferably *not* /usr/local. Steps to take: - Unpack tarball - Create a build directory - Change to the build-directory and call configure from the source directory, passing it something like --prefix=/opt/gcc295. - make bootstrap (this *has* to be called) - make install Note that even if you succeed in compiling gcc 2.95.3, you won't be able to compile C++ programs and libraries that need more then libstdc++, i.e. mostly KDE programs. I'd really advise you to not take that step but either wait until the authors fix their code or fix the code yourself.
