Need for libreadline.a from a gdb package compatible with gcc 2.95.2

[Richard Haney <rfhaney at yahoo dot com>]

I have recently downloaded a gdb package (gdb-5.2.1-20021009.tar.gz)
from <www.mingw.org>.  The package contains a gcc 3.2 compatible copy
of libreadline.a for the win32 (MinGW, i.e., non-cygwin) environment. 
That library works fine with gcc 3.2.  But I need to build packages
using gcc 2.95.2, and gcc 2.95.2 does not link its output modules to
gcc 3.2 output modules.  So apparently, I can't use the libreadline.a
from the above gdb package for my gcc 2.95.2 builds.

I've also tried building libreadline using gcc 2.95.2, but the build
package assumes that my environment is one of three types, two of which
involve the use of 'termio.h' and/or 'termios.h'.  But my computing
enviroment is none of the three.

Is there an "old" gdb package around somewhere that has a libreadline.a
compiled with gcc 2.95.2 for win32 (preferably, MinGW, non-cygwin)?
