Most Linux distributions have been packaging GNAT binaries
for a while now so you just need to take any recent gcc/gnat (4.1 and
above) .deb or .rpm, extract the gcc/gnat binaries following the
documented way for the given packaging format (ar and tar for .deb, cpio
for rpm) and use them on your system to build your own GCC.
