I would run the binary regression hunter and find which of your changes has
changed the way the compiler is broken.  This may give some clue about which
file is miscompiled.  Now, this time this is not that important, because my
patch did break the compiler, but in the case of latent bugs it would be
better to could track down the exact change that exposed the latent bug.

The only necessary things for me to look at Ada failures (I *am* interested in
them) would be more fine-grained commits and better source-code compatibility
between GNAT releases (why should I compile 3.3 as an intermediate step if my
distro only provides me with 3.2.x?).  Everything else is a plus, but these
two are must-haves.
