GCC 2.95.3 == EGCS 2.95.3. Some time ago, the GCC folks decided
to rename themselves EGCS, the Extended GNU Compiler Suite, and then
they decided they liked GCC better. GCC now stands for GNU Compiler
Collection, currently handling C, C++, Java, and FORTRAN. Chill
support has been dropped because no one stepped forward to maintain
it.
Version 2.95.3 was the last stable version before 3.0 came out.
There was an interim 2.96 release that contained experimental support
for generating 64-bit code on SPARCs, but it was not blessed as a
"stable" release, IIUC.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ , which includes a doxygen run on the GNU STL.
Note that STLport (a port of SGI's STL, see http://www.stlport.org )
compiles fine under GCC, and appears to be more stable when used with
threads.
What I'd like to know is if anyone has figured out a way to do a
g++ equivalent to Microsoft's "precompiled headers". If so, please
clue me in: they really speed up a build on a big project.
