Unless you know that your program or libraries depends on some bug in
compiler, it is safe to have binaries compiled by different versions or even
different compilers. If your code will not work with gcc 2.95.2, it may be
because of some new feature/bug introducet by it. Please read gcc homepage
for this, especially section about -fstrict-aliasing.
