Still it's the biggest problem so far.

For example, g-bytswa-x86.adb vs. g-bytswa.adb is also a problem because 
a -mcpu=i386 multilib should use the latter; however, that's arguably 
already a GNAT bug for the i386-pc-linux-gnu configuration, so it can be 
left for later.

Good to hear about soccon, though.
