I'm now wondering how much additional trouble it would be to require
the presence of the basic Ada runtime library as well as a bootstrap
compiler. That would not only make it easy to generate these tools,
Why bother? If the ouput of these tools is in CVS (and they will be),
then you don't need them to bootstrap and once you do, you can easily
build the tools. I don't understand the reason for this extra effort.
it would permit us to separate the construction of the compiler from
the construction of the runtime.
Actually, it will make it *harder*, but that's a long story ...
