Ada and ARM build assertion failure

[Nick Burrett]

I've been having some difficulty building Ada as a native compiler for 
an ARM-based target that I'm working on.  The error is:

../../xgcc -B../../ -c -g -O2      -W -Wall -gnatpg -g -O1 -fno-inline \
        a-except.adb -o a-except.o

| 4.0.0 20050318 (prerelease) (arm-riscos-elf) Assert_Failure 
nlists.adb:296|
| Error detected at a-exexpr.adb:85:9


This seems to be a reoccurance of PR5677.

As I'm using a modified backend, I wanted to know whether other users 
are having this problem when building Ada for ARM targets.

The only patch I apply to Ada is below.

Any thoughts before I go barking up the wrong tree ?

Regards,


Nick.
