Re: GNAT on Debian or Gentoo?

["Adrian Hoe" <abyhoe@gmail.com>]

I got the following GNAT bug compiling my applications:

gcc -c -I/usr/lib/ada/floristlib -I../charles/src
-I/usr/local/include/gtkada dlg_about_pkg-callbacks.adb
+===========================GNAT BUG
DETECTED==============================+
| 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) (i586-suse-linux-gnu) Assert_Failure
nlists.adb:836   |
| Error detected at
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/adainclude/s-finimp.ads:37:1|
|

I could not trace the origin of the bug. Downgrading gnat is not
possible. I hope 3.4 or 4.x can solve my problem. I get 3.4 and 4.x,
the only option is to upgrade to SuSE 10. That's one of the critical
reason I want to move away from SuSE.

If Debian can allow me to install unstable or testing release of gnat,
I will definitely consider Debian to be our main development/test
platform.

Also, is it possible to install more than 1 release of gcc/gnat and
switch among the release?

For example, to switch to 3.4:

sudo gcc_select 3.4

I can't find gcc_select in Debian.
