GNAT-AUX is basically the latest released GNAT FSF compiler.
Currently it's 4.6.1, soon to be 4.6.2.  However, when gcc 4.7.0 is
released and gnat-aux is verified to be error-free, it will be
transitioned to gcc 4.7.
So...
A) You're basically re-inventing the wheel
B) You're going to be missing some vital patches.  I still haven't
forwarded necessary FreeBSD patches back the gcc project.  Any stock
build of gnat-gcc on FreeBSD is going to have issues.
C) There's no reason to bootstrap with an old gnat, gnat-aux is modern
so this is the compiler you should use to build this stock 4.7.
