No. It has absolutely nothing to do with what version of Ada (or what vendor)
you happen to have.

That is an issue. But to my knowledge there aren't a lot of development
platforms on which gnumake is unavailable. Personally, I don't know of one
development platform in that category that has an Ada compiler. On
Macintoshes I think you have to purchase a third party unix subsystem, so its
a bit iffy there. Are you at liberty to divulge that?
