Well as you probably remember they needed a compiler that would work on
s390 and 2.95 didn't, so they took a CVS snapshot and tried to stabilize
it. The gcc package maintainer in Fedora and RH is also a gcc developer,
so I would assume he knows what he's doing.

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
