Works fine for me.

Yes, I know that's 2.4.21, but I'm not going to unpack a whole 2.4.20 tree
to demonstrate that it works the same way. It does.

gcc-2.95 doesn't depend on 3.3; it depends on the "gcc" package, which
happens to be version 3.3 in unstable. That package doesn't contain any
compilers; it just sets the default compiler and related tools, e.g.
/usr/bin/gcc.

It doesn't.
