Seeing that binaries for pgcc-2.95.3 are available on the pcg web site,
I
excitedly downloaded them. To make sure I was running the new gcc I did
gcc -v and got this:

[root AT office1 /var]# /usr/local/pgcc/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/local/pgcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pgcc-2.95.2/specs
gcc version pgcc-2.95.2 19991024 (release)

"Err..." I thought... There must be some stuff from the old version left
lying around, so I did an rm -rf of the /usr/local/pgcc and extracted
the tar file with

tar xvpzf pgcc-2.95.3-linux-x86-glibc2.1.tar.gz -C /

I did gcc -v again and got the same as before. "Hang on..." I thought
and did

[root AT office1 /var]# tar -tzf pgcc-2.95.3-linux-x86-glibc2.1.tar.gz 
./
./usr/
./usr/local/
./usr/local/pgcc/
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/gcov
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/cpp
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/protoize
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/unprotoize
./usr/local/pgcc/bin/gcc
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/libiberty.a
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/gcc-lib/
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pgcc-2.95.2/
./usr/local/pgcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pgcc-2.95.2/SYSCALLS.c.X
[etc...]

Yes, it seems there are definitely 2.92.2 files in the "2.95.3" tarball.
I checked and the date is definitely April 13th, not April 1st!!
I am perplexed. Can anyone shed any light on this?
