Parallel bootstrap is a red herring.
[ But as point of fact, it works virtually all of the time. There are
enough folks now with MP systems that bugs here get fixed quickly.
I personally bootstrap on 4 and 8-way systems every day. ]
The real point is that the ada tools do not get built with "make all"
or "make bootstrap". Failure to build the tools means that they don't
get installed. Failure to install the tools means that you wind up
using the new gnat1 with the original gnatbind. Which results in a
version mismatch error, and the *second* compiler build fails.

If 5910 isn't good enough for you, I'll happily file another.
[ Personally, I think marking 5910 as a dup of 5911 is wrong. The two
PRs raise two different problems. That they may well be solved by
the same source code rearrangement is immaterial. ]

I'm quite certain it's still a problem. But if it makes you happy,
I'll file a PR including the entire build log.
