No,
Please do not use gcc 2.95.3. It seems you are looking at an older version
of BeOS MAX since they have (AFAIK) corrected this oversight in the
current version. Use either the gcc included in R5 (from 1999) or the
geekgadgets gcc. (from 2000, version 2.9-beos-000224) If they still have
not fixed the BeOS MAX "distro" then you can still install it and install
one of the working compilers over it. (or just switch to the other
compiler if it turns out to be bundled with it as well)

As it was mentioned earlier, you can find all of the open-beos specific
tools at this page: http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/dev.php
Please note that you will have to remake the jam from cvs after you do
a checkout. You can do this by running the web jam in the tools subdir.
