Is there a reason to install gcc-2.95.3?  The current release is gcc-4.1.1.
The version you are trying to install is several years out of date.  A lot
has changed and few people are likely to have a version of gcc-2.95.3 around
to look at the sources.

Take a look at gcc/ch/ch-tree.h:736 and see what the prototype
is declaring.  Now take a look at ch/decl.c:4451 and see how
argument 'code' is defined.  This is the mis-match.

Without knowing what the source looks like, I can only guess that
there may be some difference in the system declarations which makes
the type of 'code' incompatible with the prototype.
