The gcc-2.95.x/install/* did mention that if you use the "--enable-languages=" option, "make bootstrap" won't work.
Where? As I read it (in configure.html and build.html) --enable-languages= is the ONLY thing that works in gcc-2.95.x. `make LANGUAGES=<xxx>' that used to work (egcs-1.1.2 and earlier) might not work because not all languages are configured.
The essence is that in gcc-2.95.x you have to choose which languages to build compilers for when you run `configure', not when you run `make'.

I tried this procedure with Cygwin. 'make bootstrap' produced both a GPC and a GCC compiler (taking 2 hours and eating 100mb of my hard disk in the process). Is this how it is supposed to behave?
Yes.
