Well I think that Bob Crispen is right here. The problem is that
librairies from Cygnus GCC and Labtek GNAT-Win32 are not compatible.
So even if you can use the same driver GCC you need to have 2 copies
of the librairies, 2 copies of the linker. The reusable part the GCC
driver is only 44k :-)

I have tried to put both compiler into the same directory but I wasn't
able to make them working right... Tom Griest told me that they will
merge sometime with Labtek when librairies becomes compatibles (i.e.
using the Microsoft format).
