I have received the following reply from someone who wishes to
remain anonymous.

If you look in the src directory of the GNAT GPL distribution, there is
a
patch file of more than 700kB. One can assume that these patches mostly
increase the compiler's quality and stability. Thus, my vote goes to
the
GNAT GPL 2005 version.

As there are so many strong votes against that version, I probably
can't
change anything. My second vote than would be gcc-3.4 strongly over
4=2E0. I
had seen a lot of regressions in the 4.0 prereleases which stopped me
from
further using it. Either 3.4 (strongly prefered) or the upcoming 4.1.

Voter   gnat-gpl gnat-3.4 gnat-4.0 gnat-3.4+patches
