The compiler in 1.5.x was the best available when netbsd-1-5 was
branched. The next major release should have 2.95.3 as the system
compiler -- isn't 2.95.3 the latest stable release?

You can always install another compiler to build one thing or another.
A few pkgsrc packages even require you to install the gcc-2.95.3
package to build them (but it doesn't replace the system compiler).
