Essentially that files contains the following, which refers to obsolete
versions of GCC/egcs and GNAT.

  The following patches are needed in order to build GNAT with EGCS.

  These patches were tested with egcs-980308 and gnat-3.10p on a
  mips-sgi-irix6.3 system.

        * a-gtran3.c (maybe_pad_type): Convert both size and orig_size to
        sizetype if they have differing modes.
        * a-misc.c (gnat_tree_code_type): Change from string to char array.
        (init_lex): Delete realloc calls for tree_code_* globals.  Adjust
        bcopy call for gnat_tree_code_type change.
        * a-tree.def: Adjust for tree_code_* type changes.

        * a-misc.c (init_lex): Rename to init_parse.

Perhaps one of the GNAT folks (Robert Dewar, Richard Kenner,...)
could comment on that?
