Actually, gcc 2.95 does support quite a bit of the standard. It definitely supports namespaces, <iostream> and a majority of the STL. You're probably thinking of the previous version (2.2?). The timeline was gcc 2.2 -> egcs -> gcc 2.95 -> gcc 3 egcs was what drove gcc into C++ standards compliance; I can remember switching from gcc to egcs when doing a project that needed good STL. This was in the fall of '98 if I recall, and gcc at that time was not good enough, but it was not 2.95.
