Right now it attempts to bootstrap ada when it finds an old version of
gnatcc distributed by some linux vendor on one i386 machine I use, and
that leads to a bootstrap failure. So right now it's on by default
if you have an old gnatcc that won't bootstrap the ada compiler.
So I agree with Mark; it should be off by default. Or you guys will get
a lot of bootstrap failure reports on release.
