Well, that was a latent bug in the existing code base.  The Ada front-end
(more specifically gnatmake, gnatlink and consorts) linked against
"common" files from GCC source code, most of which are compiled or are
C++ source files.  It should have linked with xg++.  I have a patch right
out of the door while typing this message.  I hope you get a chance to
review and comment it.  I only changed the parts that I empirically
determined to be in trouble.  I welcome your input as someone who has
a broader view to see whether they are other executables that need
to be linked with xg++.
