This question is not appropriate for the mailing list gcc@gcc.gnu.org, which is for the development of gcc itself. It would be appropriate for gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org. Please take any followups to gcc-help. Thanks.

You can run multiple versions of gcc on a single computer, so there is
no need to remove gcc 4.3.  In fact you should not remove gcc 4.3, as
you will need it to build 2.95.3.  To install gcc 2.95.3, you need to
download it and build it according to the installation instructions.
After you download it look at the file gcc/install.texi.  Use the
--prefix option when you run configure so that 2.95.3 does not overwrite
4.3 when you install it.

It's not quite that straightforward: I had to patch a few things to get 2.95.3 to build with gcc 4.x.

Andrew.
