Right.  This is more in the nature of a heads-up that it is difficult
to build starting from the packaged gcc and gnat on probably a lot of
systems.

I observe that the Makefile requires GNU make, which is contrary to
current policy (though I am in favor of changing that policy).

Yes, the packaged gnat is 2.8.1-based.  I would like to be able to
build starting from nothing but what is packaged, if at all possible.

Shouldn't be hard to specialize things a bit so it works; I'll see
what can be done.  (Am I correct in thinking that -pedantic,
-Wtraditional, and -Wno-long-long are simply ignored by the current
Ada front end?)

I must have run a checkout halfway through the import; I have one now.
