Wow, that's very cool! Thanks for the work!
Is it a "plain" 2.95.3 or does it contain some fixes? IIRC the GCC that 
was found on Linux before GCC 3 came out was something like 2.95.3-4 - 
that was not an official release AFAICT, though.

Hm, I haven't heard of that one, but how does GCC 3/current binutils 
handle this stuff?
