Everybody remembers that specific version :). And I wasn't even programming professionally at that time!

For many years that was the only version that could be used. What become gcc3 took years. In the end it was better, but for a while gcc 2.95 was the best we had despite the bugs.

Oof...I know of at least 1 embedded shop still using 2.95.4 for various 'reasons'.
