Hi George,
I am intrigued by what you just said in another thread:
> I need to finish with the transition to split gnat compilers (should
> be soon finally - only a few libs left) - in Gentoo you have the
> ability to have multiple gnat implementation installed side-by-side
> and switch them on the fly.
Could you please elaborate on this? I understand how you can install
several versions side by side, but what do you mean by "split[ting]"
the compilers? What is the impact on libraries? Also, could you explain
why you need a "transition", i.e. what is the current state in Gentoo?
Also, what in your opinion is the benefit of being able to switch
compilers on the fly if they're binary-incompatible?
Just curious.
