Many thanks. I think I read somewhere that "GNAT uses the FSF's[?]
renowned gcc technology", or something like that, and I had simply assumed
the rest. Funny how the old brain fills in the cracks (wrongly in this
case :-) innit?
Now to throw the cat among the pigeons: how difficult would it be to
retro-compile the tree into C (or even C++)?
While we're on the subject: is or was gcc a product of the FSF? Was it
(originally) written by Richard Stallman? I'm beginning to distrust my
memory now!
