We had a barely working Ada compiler in 3.3 (fortunately enough for
bootstraping 3.4 and 3.5 on x86 and x86_64), a fully working compiler on
3.4 (100% pass on x86 at -O0) and it looks like 3.5 will have 100% pass
on x86 and x86_64 at -O2.

I believe it's reasonable now to make it a requirement that Ada works in
future GCC releases, at least on x86 and x86_64 with no regression.
