These 2 lines should be placed into the
Host/Target specific installation notes for GCC on
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html

It would prevent unawared people from loosing time
with pseudo-releases (at least for hpux).

I was misleaded by the official release nature of gcc-2.95.3
I thought this is a somewhat more stable breakpoint after
1 year of abstincence since gcc-2.95.2.
For hpux it turns out to have even more problems than a cvs snapshot.
I just did not expect this to be so.

Before I sat down in front of a computer for the first time in my life
I never did some typing at all. Now I work with computers all day
long and hit the keys again and again.
What did You say was the goal of all Computer Science?
