I fully support this beg. Please, please dear GNAT folks, it would
be really nice and helpful for getting Ada95 more widely deployed if
a binary version that is easy to install under Red Hat 5 (where
now glibc instead of libc is used) were available. Our department
plans to upgrade all our workstations to RH5 in a few days, and
I'll probably loose GNAT then.
