Compiling and using a bare C and Ada GCC 4 GNAT toolset,
on an average GNU/Linux PC, is almost always possible using

$ cd some_fresh_build_directory
$ path_to_GCC_src/configure --prefix=/some/where --enable-languages=c,ada
$ make bootstrap (and have lunch)
$ make check (to see whether it is in good shape)
$ make install

Then to use the new compiler and tools,

$ PATH=/some/where/bin:${PATH}
$ export PATH

Note that to build GNAT you need a compiler that understands
Ada (GNAT's). If your system's default CC doesn't understand
Ada, set the CC environment variable to the Ada compiler.
