I have to repeat this every time I send a patch for gcc 2.95... :) 

OpenBSD still uses it on a few legacy architectures on which later gcc 
versions are having problems. 

Among those sparc (32 bits)[1]  is the most intersting because the
Xorg server runs pretty well on it, even on multi head configurations.

The other architectures still using gcc 2.95 and on which OpenBSD is 
actively maintained are m68k, m88k and vax. the Xorg server isn't built
on them for various reasons.
