gperf (C2Ada) build problem...

[Ronald Abdur-Raheem Ali <RonAli@WriteMe.com>]

If someone can assist with this unique problem ...

I'm building the C2Ada translator from Inmet.com,
which requires that python and gperf be built first.
I'm running on a Sun - Sparc Enterprise 2, with SunOS 5.0, and
gnat  versions 3.05 and 3.10, which both reference gcc version 2.7.2.

The latest version of C2Ada calls for python version 1.3,
I built version 1.4 successfully.

When I build gperf with gnat 3.05, I get the following error message:
#--------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -DLO_CAL -DGATHER_STATISTICS -O -p -g -fstrength-reduce
-fomit-frame-pointer -fdelayed-branch -finline-functions  -c  getopt.c

AND,

When I build gperf with gnat 3.10, I get the following error message:
#--------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -DLO_CAL -DGATHER_STATISTICS -O -p -g -fstrength-reduce
-fomit-frame-pointer -fdelayed-branch -finline-functions -o gperf

The file "mcrt1.o" cannot be found on our system,
although "crt1.o" was found in the heirarchy of both versions of gnat.

Can someone suggest a fix for this situation?
