Because that "short period" is *at minimum* until gcc 3.1
is released in six months.
No, there's no assurance that that old version of Ada will be able to
compile the CVS Ada sources for the next six months: that's the point.
Because it doesn't "muck up" the Makefile at all. I think Zack's
patch is really very clean -- one makefile variable for the bootstrap
Ada compiler, one makefile variable for flags to pass to that
compiler. Have you even really looked at it?
Yes, I did. But due to the extent that the Ada front end calls the back-end,
I'm not comfortable with the idea of them being compiled by different
compilers.
