OpenBSD still uses gcc 2.95 on some architectures: m68k, m88k, sparc
and vax. 

Among those sparc (meaning 32 bit only sparc, the 64 bit ultra
sparc machines are supported by the sparc64 port, which switched to
gcc 4.2.1) really matters, because there is a working X server
on it, even if it's not that useful (only 8 bit frame buffers are
supported).
