What I had to do was a little more than simply installing gcc 2.95.
Change the lines in the makefile which set CC and HOSTCC.
At the start they are set to gcc, but what I had to do was set them
explicitly to gcc-2.95 like this:
In file 'Makefile'
...
HOSTCC = gcc-2.95
...
CC = gcc-2.95
...
End of Makefile representation.
This fixed the problem for me and everything appears to work great.
Best of luck to all finding this by google (like I did).
