What kind of changes does this require?  gcc 2.95 is ten years old.  I don't
see a problem with supporting it if it comes really cheap, but I wouldn't
like having to live with a set of kludges if it's only for the sake of
keeping an old gcc around.

Aside from this, maybe someone should tell the Haiku folks that it won't
cost them a dime in license fees to upgrade their gcc sometime :-)
