Thanks! However, I decided to intentionally take the more generic URL,
as to avoid broken links and/or continous updates in the future. As a
rule of thumb, I try to avoid URLs that have some kind of (subrelease)
version information encoded whereever possible.
(For example, our current release is GCC 2.95.3, and it seems there will
be a GCC 2.95.4 at some point, apart from GCC 3.0.x.)
So, http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/gcc.html would be fine, but
gcc-2.95.2-sgipl1.html really makes me a bit nervous. :-o

Yes, that's very useful!
