Since Ludovic maintains GNAT for Debian, we have every reason to
assume he is familiar with how to build GNAT from source.
In fact, he has demonstrated how he works with the GCC sources
at an AdaCore session during FOSDEM 2006.
   Debian related Ada sources are also available from a Monotone
repository hosted by Ada France, in case you want to have a look.
