One caution here is that these sources are specifically for building with
GCC 3, and still are work in progress in the sense that there are significant
failures with this version against our test suite for all architectures.

The sources at gnu.org do not correspond to any release of GNAT Professional
(or earlier public versions). So if you want sources that match a particular
version, you need to go get them somewhere else.

Note that the sources for the run-time library are with every version of
GNAT, so you never need to run around looking for these.

Note also that whoever provided you with the binary of GNAT had a legal
obligation to provide you with information on how to get the corresponding
sources. It is illegal to redistribute GNAT without providing this information
(since it violates FSF and ACT copyrights to do so). So I suggest that you
go wherever you got the binary for, and get the sources from there.

By the way, care to tell us why you want the sources (always interesting to
know what people are doing with them :-)
