well, the only gcc 2.95.2 I have access to is on this SGI. Using 
gcc-2.95.2 there is no <sstream> but there is a <strstream>.

I just read the comments in /boost/config/stdlib/sgi.hpp where the 
BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM is set and it is indeed documented that it needs 
to be set for gcc-2.95.2 and not for gcc-2.95.3 but that there is no way 
to detect them. So I guess it's a known problem without a proper solution.
