Sure, if you want.  It don't think it currently works out of the box,
but updating it shouldn't be a problem.  Depending on what you need
(a native compiler for the target, libstdc++ support, etc.) it could
take a little time to get it working though.  Patches welcome.

A reflection of how much we've used it lately.  Erik has mentioned
wanting to get it working again, but I don't know where it is on his
priority list.  Much of the gcc 3.3.2 work I've done recently was
contracted, and gcc 2.95 support has therefore lagged even further
behind.

There aren't any plans to drop support.  It is just that there hasn't
been sufficient time/interest/incentive to maintain it recently.
