Matthew,

i am refering to the Machten/Codebuilder port.  the problem with ppc
linux is that gcc will not boot strap (c or ada) unless you build it
with either egcs or gcc 2.95 neither of which is supported for gnat.
someone has patches to replace the gcc-281.dif patche that come with
gnat, but i havent been able to find them.  i built a cross compiler
using gcc-2.8.1 from intel linux to ppc linux and built 3.11.  it will
build itself, but the compilers (c and ada) that are built from 2.8.1
versions will not build themseves.  i will put more time into it soon
if someone doesnt do it first.  if anyone has egcs (or 2.9.5) patches
to replace the 281 patchs it would help a great deal.

best jim
