There is also a note in: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC

Debugging the ada compiler

If you run the debugger on ../../objdir/gnat1, you get an error message:

fatal error, run-time library not installed correctly
cannot locate file system.ads
compilation abandoned

For correcting this error, simply invoke the following command at the gdb prompt:

(gdb) set env ADA_INCLUDE_PATH path_to_objdir/gcc/ada/rts
