I would highly recommend grabbing the source RPMs that we
distribute and just building that way.  That way you get the
proper patch set and build instructions.

rpm -bb XXX.spec

One dependency is that you need a gcc 3.2.x native gnat to
build a gcc 3.2.x cross gnat.

It seems to be in pretty good shape but the last I checked has a few
regressions compared to the gcc 2.8.1 based gnat.
