Apparently, >it's looking for a previous version of gnat. I first used the pkg_add to add the 2.03 gnat, then ported 2.03 from the ports collection just to see if it would work. I did manage to get it compiled but I forgot what I needed to change. I also managed to get gnat 2.06 compiled (gnat 2.05 or 2.06 is needed, along withh gcc 2.7.0, in order to get gnat 2.07 built). I then built gcc 2.7.0 and gnat 2.07 along with the pthreads package but couldn't get tasking to work. I used another FreeBSD installation on a spare disk to do this because I didn't want to lose the ability to do a make world which (AFAIK) needs gcc 2.6.3. The one thing I had to change was to use the GNU make in the Makefile (gcc top-level Makefile) for anything that was ada-related.; you can leave the other parts of the Makefile alone.
