I guess your question is: does the Ada bootstrap really need to use
gcc directly on Ada files (which will fail since gcc-3.3.4 from your
path will be used), or does it in fact only use gcc spawned by gnatmake
(which will use gcc-2.8.1), in which case the test for Ada support is
too strict?

It will. Since the final gcc-4.0.0 binary you end up with is built
using gcc-4.0.0 itself, it should be the same binary as if you'd started
with something else.
Ciao,
