For technical reasons, the GNAT front end is built using the run-time
library sources which come with the compiler sources, and not using
the installed GNAT run-time library on the host system. In other
words, the compiler depends on a (rather small) subset of the run-time
library sources.
However, there is no reason why a large part of the run-time library
could not be moved to a separate directory. For the build, we should
use another separate directory, IMHO.
