As the generated Texinfo files are in CVS, I'd hope that only a minor
adjustment of dependencies is needed.

As for the bootstrap requirements, we're still waiting for the collection
of bootstrap compilers (say GCC 3.3.x with Ada support) for various
systems (not just those commerically supported by ACT, but any for which
people contribute such compilers) that was promised to be hosted at "the
libre site" a long time ago.

If general cross-compiler building, including Canadian crosses and
cross-building native compilers, doesn't work properly with the Ada front
end and library, following the usual (alas undocumented) procedures,
that's simply another ordinary bug.
