The other possibility is that installing the gcc-gnat RPM's that are
part of Red Hat 9 and see if they have the fixed software. This would be
a build based off of gcc 3.2 (or 3.3 if you build from Rawhide). It
works at least well enough to compile the ada source for gcc-gnat but I
don't know if the threading works (just have not had the time to try).
