Did you check your compile logs to see if it actually compiled with gcc-2.95 or with just gcc (==3.3) ? It happened to me several times that when building 2.4.21, it would use gcc-2.95 for the initial configuration and cleanup targets (since I specified CC=gcc-2.95), but revert to gcc for the actual build. I had to hand-edit kernel makefiles to stop it from using gcc by default and use gcc-2.95 instead. Or perhaps try setting CC=gcc-2.95 in your environment before running the build.
