Help request compiling GNAT 4.8.2

[Didier Kryn]

     Hello Olivier.

     I also asked a question concerning gnat some weeks ago and didn't 
receive any answer. It seems that gnat developpers are not listening to 
this list. If you ever happen to find a way to contact them, I would be 
happy to know how. I tried with Adacore and they told me they were not 
in charge; I also asked the Debian maintainer but he didn't reply.

     Thanks.
                     Didier
