HELP - Downgrading gcc

[Es Que]

I'm am trying to compile openmosix on the 2.4.19 linux kernel and I need gcc 
version 2.95. However, my Debian system seems to have installed both gcc 
2.95 and gcc 3.22. (it automatically installs 3.2.2 when I try to install 
2.95)
Is there some way that I can run "make" (make clean, make menuconfig etc) 
and specify
which version of gcc to use?
If not, is there a step-by-step process for downgrading gcc?


Thanks in advance,
Esque

It should be unnecessary to remove gcc 3.2.2: Multiple compilers can
coexist on the same system.  

To choose a compiler set the CC or CXX environment variable to the
compiler you would like to use.  For example:

        $ export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc295
        $ ./configure
        [...]
