I'm not quite sure what the issue is here.  Are you saying that you see
this diagnostic about gcc-2.95 even when the kernel that needs it isn't
selected for building?  If so, that seems like it would be a bitbake bug
and should be fixed as such.  (The fact that it's showing an empty list
for the dependent packages does indicate that something is a bit wrong
in bitbake, anyway.)
