Ho-hum. I spoke too soon.

You can't currently use GNAT 3.15p to bootstrap 3.2.
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gcc&cmd=view%20audit-trail&p
r=8689
It falls over at the first compile in the gcc/ada directory with
fatal error: system.ads is incorrectly formatted
I can't even get GNAT 3.15p to build GCC 3.1.
Might be worth harassing someone about the bug report. It looks like someone
wrote a patch on the ada_ru mailing list but I can't find it and I don't
speak Russian.
In the mean time, you could just use the gnat distribution as a compiler
rather than trying to build GCC 3.2 with it and then use that. Not sure of
drawbacks, but the benefits are you know the gdb you've got there will work
well with Ada.
