So ..., and it is already done that way for all of the rest of GCC, so
why not Ada?  I contribute stuff that was done for 4.0 (or 4.1)
forward ported to the trunk.  I don't see why this is any different.
Yes maybe Ada is special because only AdaCore people work on it but
that is not an excuse.  Sorry but GCC should have the same policy for
all of GCC and not make Ada special (which is already done with the
stupid merge days).
