I have not used gcc-2.95.X to build RHIDE already for a rather long time
(I don't even have it installed)

I haven't built RHIDE for DJGPP already for a rather long time. Perhaps 
build mentioned above was latest as far as I remember. For Linux I later 
built RHIDE using GDB-5.3 (but it looks that I haven't put a related snapshot 
at http://rhide.sourceforge.net/snapshots)

I don't think GCC-3.2.X is so bad. I had some stability problems, but they
were caused by some incompatibilities between GDB-5.3 and librhgdb in
RHIDE sources, but not due to problems of GCC-3.2.X. Of course, it could be 
that I have skipped something.

I'm currently myself mostly using (under Linux) my last build of RHIDE (built 
using GDB-5.3 and recent TVision and SetEdit  CVS versions. But this version
is not near to release. It seems to work stable enough under X11 (perhaps
Andrew Cotterll can say more about DJGPP, as he tried to build RHIDE using 
the TVision-2.0.X and recent SetEdit version for DJGPP.
