I am using GNAT 3.14p to compile Ada sources, and GCC 2.95 to compile
C sources; the resulting object modules are then linked together to
make stage1/gnat1. Is that what you mean by a kludged-up compiler?
I do not think it should be terribly hard to work around this problem,
and it would make life considerably easier for a wide range of our
users.
