I verified that if I download the gcc-core snapshot and try a bootstrap, 
I get a failure building gnattools.  This failure goes away if gnattools 
is moved from gcc-core to gcc-ada.

I tested your patch by hand crafting a release source tree, and then 
running "gcc_release -r 4.1 tarfiles".  All this does is build the 
tarfiles.  It doesn't touch the cvs repository or the ftp site.  I did 
this with and without your patch, and verified that the only change was 
that gnattools moved from the gcc-core file to the gcc-ada file.  I 
believe this testing is sufficient.

I checked in the patch.

I have attached the patch I checked in, so it would get archived in the 
gcc-patches list.
