25 Mine automatically checks for an installed gnatbind, if that exists,
26 there is a gnat installed already. Otherwise it sets up a few variables
27 to override the toolchain.eclass to use the gnatboot.

29 Yours has a large gnatboot function. Mine is all inline with small
30 additions where required.

32 You have added some cross compile support, which is unnecessary as once
33 a toolchain with USE=ada is installed, crossdev just works.
