Thanks for your report.

It's version 2.95.4 :-)

The reason is simple: We just use the version the user (in this case
me) reported. This doesn't mean that newer or older versions don't
work. It's just a configuration that is known to work. Other
configurations may also work. 

The same is true for the kernel versions. "NetBSD ix86 1.5.1" doesn't
mean that 1.5.0 or 1.5.2 (if it exists) aren't supported. 

We could add another line for each version of the compiler and each
version of the operating system but I don't think that this makes sense.
We have multiple lines if it's a completely different compiler or if the
results are different.

Bye,
