Ah, you are right. I just assumed everyone would already be on ~x86 as gnat-3.15p is still
there. I will move it to stable any day now however. We are also thinking of unmasking gnat-5.0
and placing it in ~x86, so I'm interested if you find any bugs (in which case I will keep it
masked a bit longer).
I am also working on a system which would allow you to have multiple versions of gnat installed
at the same time, but first I need to port it to ppc as I just replaced my desktop with a
Pegasos.
