Sorry! I got the impression that was how GNAT worked (translate Ada to C,
and then compile to executable).  Looking at the documentation for GNAT
3.10 (R1.30), I see no mention of intermediate C.  Is this how GNAT worked
once upon a time, or did I simply get totally the wrong end of the stick? 
What is GNAT's relationship to GCC?
