A FrontEnd in C++?

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

This is not the case for PR 6942.

I built a working Ada compiler with 3.2, but the bootstrap now fails 
with 3.3.  I even identified the patch that broke it.

    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.

All of these were due to using a non-working version of GNAT as the bootstrap
source, as far as I know.  Nobody who has started from a working version
has had a problem.
