Findings so far:

I omitted $ make check this time and everything, including the
gcc  driver program, was properly installed into /usr/local/bin .

GNAT Lib v4.4 is still on line 1 of  gcc/ada/doctools/xgnatugn.ali
but there is no sign of a problem with it.

A possible cause for the issue might have been here:
I have run $ make check now, and apparently it
hit a memory limit and tore the machine down
(up to "no processes to kill").

Since I had run $ make check before I had tried # make install
during the previous attempt, the missing "gcc" executable might
simply have been a lost when at some point the file system
needed fixing. Or some other unknown. My bad.

Setting ulimits for $ make check accordingly looks promising.
If everything runs well, I will be happy, and silent.
