Certainly looks like a work around to me, to avoid a codegen problem at
-O2 in the bootstrap compiler, since you're forcing recompilation of the same
run time files at a different optimization level.
That being said, if this change can make more people able to test Ada
that would be a good reason to put this change in, although I'd rather
only do a minimal change (e.g. only do a gnatmake -f -a on the first file to
be built, and not do a -f -a on others, since they should use the newly
compiled files anyway) with proper documentation on why this peculiar
change is done.
