Well, there is a very noticable difference between 2.95 and 3.0:

  nunki[42]:~% cat x.cc
  main(int argc, char *argv[]) { }

  nunki[43]:~% gcc2.95 x.cc ; a.out

  nunki[44]:~% gccvs x.cc ; a.out
  ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: libstdc++.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory

(This is a box w/o GCC in any default location nor LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.)
