Debian woody ix86-linux
>Description:
The installation instructions mention that --suffix and kin
don't work on Ada binaries. This is an understatement; when --suffix=-3.1 is used, the new gnatmake still looks for gcc, not gcc-3.1, meaning that gnatmake (and basically all Ada compilations) either fail or use the wrong gcc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build gcc with --suffix=-3.1. Run the resulting gnatmake on files. Notice it runs gcc, not gcc-3.1.
