I started the following batch ;-) :

http://ada.krischik.com/uploads/Articles/build-gnat-gpl

and waited for about an hour ;-)

Of course the batch will only work when you have the right directory setup
and downloaded the right files. See:

http://ada.krischik.com/index.php/Articles/CompileGNATGPL

The batch will actually extract the download archives if they copied into
the right directory - and do the configure - that way I have reproducible
results.

;-) - there is no Linux x86_64 even true AdaCore now officially supports
that target. Interesting is that Linux x86 and Linux x86_64 are different
products and support need to be purchased separately. But then you have to
buy ASIS, PolyORB, XML/Ada support as an extra as well. And perhaps that is
the reason for the GPL Licence: They don't want there customers to pick up
a few free extra options.

If others *do* something as well: The site is Wiki based and
"build-gnat-gpl-tiger" or "build-gnat-gpl-freebsd" are of course welcome
(Just ask me for the upload password).
