For the second time: GNATS PRs 6016, 6160, 6552, 6573, 6584, 6661,
6669, 6696, 6767, 6816, 6851, 6852, 6853, 6872, 6879, 6931, 6942,
7209, and 7337.

Now I did just succeed in building the GCC 3.3 source tree with Ada
enabled (incl make gnatlib_and_tools), using C and Ada compilers from
GCC 3.2.  It is possible that some or all of these PRs have been
fixed.  However, the impression one gets flipping through GNATS is
that they have all been ignored.
