Easily fixed by a symbolic link to the other gcc-lib subdirectory.

The description on

  http://www.gnat.com/chat/2781.html

for installing GNAT 3.10p on Red Hat 5.0 (and probably other Linux
systems that have already switched from libc5 to glibc2 as their
C library) is pretty straight forward and worked for me in a
few minutes.

The only big problem with GNAT under Red Hat 5.0 is that
the Florist Posix.5 binding does not work.
