2.04 added full symlink support, and 2.05 bloated up printf a fair bit. You may be able to do -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections , but I think it's only experimental (for COFF). Also, yes, 2.95.3 is ancient (2001!), but newer GCCs (albeit bloated in size and tons slower) have much better warnings and error diagnostics.
