If Ada folks think that ability to build previous versions of GNAT
with recent bootstrapping compilers is of no value for their
community, I see no reason to endorse that initiative -- even though
I can fully see the benefits for GCC developers.
I don't want to speak for Arno, but it didn't sound like that's what he
was saying. My interpretation was that he was expressing concern that,
in general, compiling GNAT with a newer version of the compiler was something
that's dubious. But if it can be made to work in a particular case,
there's no reason not to do it.
