Just interested to know what went wrong... I was trying to re-generate the build errors. But I could not get to make bootstrap with Ada although I did: % ../configure --enable-languages=c,ada gnat was not built and I look into Make-lang, Ada was not in there. I don't know why. I am using gcc-3.3.2 instead of 3.3 the last time I tried to build. -- Adrian Hoe m a i l b o x AT a d r i a n h o e . c o m
