OK.  Thanks for the clarification.  
The issue here is whether it is OK by Ada maintainers to have a patch
that makes GNAT/GCC-3.3.x buildable by a bootstrapping from GCC-3.4.
If that is not OK, is it OK to have the configury machinery disable
Ada by default?  I can make decisions either way, but I would prefer
to have a clear statement from Ada maintainers -- because that may
settle some bugs as regression in future versions of GCC.
