>Description:

The GNAT bug box (produced on ICEs) directs bug reports to a company's
internal bug tracking system rather than to the public GCC bug
tracking system.  This is clearly not OK for software included in a
public GCC release.

>How-To-Repeat:

Generate an ICE from GNAT.

>Fix:

Including a file gnat_bug.box with more appropriate contents in the
appropriate directory under libsubdir (see comperr.ads) is the minimal
fix.

Possibly it would be more appropriate for the FSF sources to contain
no trace of the instructions to send bug reports to the ACT system,
and ACT to deal with providing their instructions in their source tree
only (either through gnat_bug.box, or through maintaining differences
from FSF sources).
