gcc2.95 installed

[Michael Gordon Weaver]

Thanks for the information. I got version 2.9.5.0.6 of binutils,
and was able to build gcc2.95 for powerpc-unknown-linux-gnulibc1
without a hitch.

If someone reading this could update the web page
for system specific instructions for installing gcc2.95
on powerpc-linux to mention binutils
version 2.9.4.0.8 instead of 2.9.1.0.23, I would appreciate it.

Michael.
