Do not run ./configure, build in a separate directory. You probably want to use --prefix=$HOME/gcc-2.95.3 because the shell won't expand ~ in the middle of a word like that. You don't need to use --enable-threads=posix or --enable-shared, those are enabled by default on GNU/Linux. You're missing a '=' after --host (not sure if that matters though)
