The files for gcc/cp/parse.[ch] are only in the full source. They are for
the C++ front-end. If you just have gcc-core, it's OK that they fail.

It should be:
tar zxvf gcc-2.95.2-core.tar.gz
cd gcc-2.95.2
patch -p0 < ../gcc-2.95.2-diff-991022

It's autoconf, not autoconfig. You need a reasonably new autoconf version
(2.13 is the latest, AFAIK).

I'll check if I can get gcc-2.95.2 compiled on my Netwinder.
