I am "actively" working on porting pkgsrc to A/UX (delayed as my box pooped out) and it is very likely that 2.95.x is the latest gcc that will ever be buildable on that system, as A/UX support was removed in 3.0.something IIRC.

Now I want to get my WGS 95 up and running again... wonder if I can find all the bits to get A/UX going...
