I've been messing around with Ada on my old Mac G4, running OS X
10.4.11, for a long time, using vi, and emacs. My G4 died an I replaced
it with a G5 (love the PPC) running 10.5.8. When I now attempt to
compile, I get

     gcc -c -g -IUtilities trimmer.adb
     gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory

Poking around, I don't see a newer version of GNAT for 10.5.8. Although
I had good backup (I thought) before the G4 died, file recovery was a
laborious process and I could have made mistakes. (As a matter of fact,
I'm trying to write a little tool to help in checking that recovery.)

Any ideas?
