I'm building current DJDEV with gcc-2.95 (both native compiler and
cross-compiler under Linux) and haven't met gcc-2.95 specific problems
there in last time. Earlier I have sent some related patches (mostly to
avoid additional warnings as DJDEV is being compiled with option -Werror
and also to make DJDEV compatible with current development versions
of binutils).

About making it as official version. Perhaps it really can wait release
of v2.03. However to make port of gcc-2.95 compatible (hopefully) with
new features of upcoming DJGPP-2.03 (eg. /dev/env/, /dev/c/) I built it
using development version of DJGPP-2.03.
