There may be some things in the 1995 standard that have been changed since then. Is there a particular feature you're looking for? > Is the standard accepted by ISO and ANSI?

Egcs is the version that's actively being developed. If you have an earlier gcc version, for instance 2.8, that's different: I hear that no one is working on that anymore. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
