gcc 2.95 was removed from the Cygwin distribution because it was buggy
and no one was interested in fixing it.  So the answer is, you don't use
2.x gcc.

If you're careful you can find an old mirror that still has the 2.95
package (search for its exact filename with a search engine) but
downloading this known-buggy program is entirely up to you and you'll
have to solve any issues that come up yourself.
