I'd really like to get some attention for http://gcc.gnu.org/PR10129,
which is a bootstrap failure for Ada on powerpc-apple-darwin.
I have done all I can to pin-point this regression, which is caused by
patch  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-09/msg01259.html by
Geoffrey Keating.

The PR contains suggestions by Geoffrey on how the bug could be fixed,
but I do not know nearly enough about this area of the compiler, and
handling of PIC code on darwin in particular, to be able to come up
with a fix for this.

BTW, this has left my laptop unable to build Ada on either 3.3 branch
      or mainline since october 2002, when I reported the problem.
