differences in gcc-2.95.2 and gcc-2.7.2?

["john schuch" <johncps at gatech dot campuscwix dot net>]

hello all,
I have built and installed binutils-2.10 and gcc-2.95.2-2 for use with a
win98 host and a sh-hms target running on cygwin.  At this point the
compiler cannot produce executables, but that is okay for now. I already
have a working compiler for the same platform and host with gcc-2.7.2.  If I
try to compile the same set of files without linking, the compiler complains
about stuff like ansi c++ (I didn't set the '-ansi' flag, or anything that
implies the use of it)forbids casts from nonreference types to lvalues,
trailing backslashes, and a variety of other things.  Though the some of the
files do compile, the resulting object files are different, as running
objdump shows.
Has anybody seen a problem like this before?  If so, any advice would be
appreciated.

Thanks
-John Schuch
