I'm using AdaCore's GNAT-GPL, which I downloaded back in June.  I've
seen nothing that indicates a new version has been released since then.
 The gcc version is 3.4.6 on it.

I actually tried building ``trunk,'' first, not realizing that it had
moved from 4.2 series to 4.3.  It bootstrapped and compiled, however
_every test failed_.  That was a truly unpleasant experience.  This is
why I switched to gcc-4_2-branch.  I'm baffled, though, as to why the
development branch would compile, though the ``stable'' series just
dies.

I'm thinking of attempting to build trunk again, and carefully go over
all of the tests to see where the failures are.  I don't like the idea,
though, of not being able to compile the majority of my programs to get
Ada working (though I'm trying to build Ada into my normal compiler
because I also don't like the idea of having two compilers hanging
around).
