gcc 2.95 is too old for AMD 64.  Getting it to run on the 32-bit
subsystem is possible, but will be tricky.  If you have no experience in
this area, you my be better hiring an expert.

Build and install the compiler, as per the instructions at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html.  Set the --prefix option to
wherever you want gcc installed.

Something like this may work:

~/gcc/gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/tmp/gcc-2.95.3 --target=i386-linux-gnu --host=i386-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-as=$HOME/bin/as

You'll need a 32-bit assembler installed somewhere; here I put it in $HOME/bin/as.
