 This is effectively a duplication of ada/5856 - various changes to the Ada
 front end (such as the proper bug box version) have been applied only to
 the 3.1 branch and not to the mainline (this should never happen, except
 where there's doubt about the right way to fix a problem on the mainline
 and there's a high-priority PR open describing the issue that needs fixing
 on the mainline to avoid a regression).  Could the Ada maintainers please
 go through all patches to the Ada compiler that have been applied to the
 3.1 branch since it was created and make sure that they are also on the
 mainline?  I believe the relevant patches are (from the CVS logs of
 ada/ChangeLog):
 
 revision 1.197.2.11
 date: 2002/05/04 03:27:12;  author: bosch;  state: Exp;  lines: +259 -0
         * 1aexcept.adb, 1aexcept.ads, 41intnam.ads, 42intnam.ads,
 [...]
         xref_lib.ads, xsinfo.adb, xsnames.adb, xtreeprs.adb : Change
         Ada Core Technologies from maintainer to contributor.
 
 (but of course all files present on mainline must be fixed, not just those 
 that were on 3.1 branch)
 
 revision 1.197.2.9
 date: 2002/05/01 21:15:24;  author: bosch;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -0
         * comperr.adb : Fix typo.
 revision 1.197.2.8
 date: 2002/05/01 19:57:06;  author: bosch;  state: Exp;  lines: +10 -0
         * bindgen.adb (Public_Version_Warning): Remove.
 
         * gnatvsn.ads : Change to match GCC 3.1 version.
 
         * comperr.adb : Change bug box, remove ACT-specific circuitry.
 
         * comperr.ads : Update comments to reflect changed bug message.
 
 (but I've since fixed the version strings to be of standard GCC format)
 
 revision 1.197.2.4
 date: 2002/04/21 06:59:35;  author: fw;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -0
         * adaint.c (__gnat_tmp_name): Remove buffer overflow bug on
                 GNU/Linux.
 
 (but you shouldn't rely on this list - diff the ada directory between the 
 branchpoint and head of branch and check through all patches found).
