I can confirm this.  I built 'pkgsrc/security/sfs' on a -current system
(i386 1.6ZE) and got gcc 2.95.3 too.  The build for that crapped out on
'loop.c'.  The fix is trivial, but why do should I need gcc 2.95.3? 
Lodking at the 'sfs' Makefile, I'm not ever sure how this superfluous
dependcy is enforced.
