Your message is now linked from the GCC 3.1 build status list at
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.1/buildstat.html.  Let me know if there's
additional information that should be added to the entry.  I'll watch
for your test results, but remind me if I don't add them in the next
couple of days.

It sounds like you had trouble building other things than Ada.  If
that's true, you might consider making your other binaries available
as well.
