It's a wonderful thing

[Charles Wilson]

...the internet. I needed a copy of _G_config.h from gcc-2.95.3 for MSys 
gcc (5 year old packaging bug).  I figured cygwin's version would be a 
good starting point.  But that old version of gcc for cygwin has long 
since vanished from *our* mirrors.

Enter google, and
http://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwin.htm

Who provide (with -src) a self-extracting archive that unpacks into a 
setup.exe-equipped release/ directory, with a custom setup.ini and a 
specific set of packages (needed to build ptolemy plugins, I guess).

And there's gcc-2.95.3-5.tar.bz2, with its _G_config.h file, which 
worked like a charm.  The internet is a wonderful thing.

  OMG!  It's son of zombie b15.0 returned from beyond the grave to walk the
earth once more!  Kinda.
