To be honest, I don't like this at all. This sounds like doubling |

the effort on maintaining gcc, and it sounds like people using GNAT-GPL |

would end up being forced to use old versions of GCC (also possibly |
18 |
missing patches). |

If the Ada compiler requires Ada to boostrap anyway, can't you just |
21 |
make it build the Ada compiler alone? |
