Your questions suggest that you have to learn a lot about how the automake 
tookchain works. If all you want is a newer compiler then I suggest you just 
download one from the GNU-Ada-Project [1]. While Ada is indeed priority, we 
compile all gcc-languages which won't put up a fuss.

PS: RPM on cygwin - Well, we got the build-specs from the Linux build and we 
just execute then under Cygwin - saves us lot's of time.
