Robert,

  Yet another instance of the bootstrap problem I got this night and
what I just described in my recent mail.
It would be helpful if you (GNAT folks) could investigate this issue.
Fundamentally, it boils down to the following: In the command invocation

   gnatbind -I. [args]

gnatbind gets resolved to whatever is found in $PATH -- most of the
time, the wrong tool.  I believe a fix would be to say something like 

  ./gnatbind -I [args]

or
  stage1/gnatbind -I [args]

(same for helper utilities)

Well, I may be wrong but I believe that should be a good start for the
fix.
