Hi,

I'm afraid the 'patched gcc' should be one that is able to 
call an Ada compiler. The problem as I see it is that I need
a working Ada compiler to make the port, and the only binary 
I was able to fetch (which is for FBSD 2.2.8) doesn't work,
because it needs the aout static libraries.

I will try, thanks. I was just thinking there should be a way
to produce a working Ada compiler on a brand new installed 
FBSD 3.1. I'm a bit disappointed because it really seems that 
I will need to use Linux binaries (I can smell the new problems 
arising... :-) ) Please correct me if I'm wrong and there *is* a
way to avoid Linux binaries. Does it make any difference if I 
upgrade to 3.2-R or something?

Thanks again,
							Antal
