Re: Status of the GNAT Ada compiler

[Laurent GUERBY <laurent at guerby dot net>]

Well I just checked, I have succesfully compiled 3.4.0,
3.4.1 and 3.4.2 from the SuSE provided Ada compiler.
I suggest you just try with "make bootstrap",
and if it fails please report the exact details
of the failure in GCC bugzilla (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla)

We know that 3.4.x is unable to compile itself (Ada wise) after
being installed, there was a patch with a problem, a suggestion
to fix the patch problem but it was refused by Ada maintainers.
(I don't have the references handy).

Sincerely,

Laurent
