Well AFAIK, there is no "later than 2.95.3", that is suitable. From previous discussions, 3.XX is not currently supported by GPC and 2.96 is a broken version of GCC, so 2.95.3 is "it" (since this version for DJGPP is not listed below, by implication there were no problems with it, so I expect Maurice will have a build available shortly:-).
BTW, I did notice at "http://www.distrowatch.com/debian.htm", that there exists also a GCC 2.95.4, but I have not heard anything about this version ...

PS. I've just noticed - the "Reply To" stuff has stopped working! :-(

We consider this version the Release Candidate #1 for the upcoming GPC 2.1 release.
Many things have changed since the last announced version. (Please see the `Done' section of the To-Do list and the `News' chapter in the manual or on the homepage for details.)
Though many bugs have been fixed since the last version, there is still a number of known bugs left, some of which are longstanding issues that will take some time to be fixed. Therefore, according to a discussion in gpc@gnu.de, we have decided to make a 2.1 release now, anyway.
This version has been tested successfully (i.e., the test suite ran without failures -- except martin2a.pas and fjf434c.pas on some platforms which should have been moved to knownbugs, and will be further investigated before the final release) on the following systems:
i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.8.1) i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.95.3) i386-pc-msdosdjgpp (gcc-2.8.1) sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (gcc-2.95.2) mips-sgi-irix6.5 (gcc-2.95.2) alpha-dec-osf4.0b (gcc-2.95.3)
Test reports from other systems are welcome.
If you find new or especially important bugs, or very important missing features, let us know so we can perhaps fix them before 2.1.
Any major changes, however, will not be done in the 2.1 source tree, but rather in the next alpha versions leading to 2.2.
How about djgpp with gcc 2.95.3 (or later) ?
