I have built Gnat since 3.12p on Linux number of times, very easy
thing to do. The problematic part is configuration for OpenVMS.
I do have the GNV anvironment, but haven't used it in that context.
In the past I saw that there was a DCL command procedure for this
(vmsconfigure.com or something like that).
