Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the patch. This is OK to apply. As you noted, this is not
enough to allow parallel bootstrap, which incidentally was never 
supported
for GNAT. The biggest remaining issue is that currently two recursive
makes are used for compiling gnat1 and gnatbind.

Thanks for this. I have gone through all patches, and through the 
Makefile
line by line, but since dependencies had changed a lot, merging them
remained a tedious manual process that is error-prone. I'll try to be 
even
more careful in the future.
