For anyone here who uses FreeBSD, gnat is in the ports collection
listed as a translator though as I understand it it actually IS a
full compiler or most of a full one.

However, when attempting to install the port for gnat 3.10 it says
I need a gcc that already has Ada capability.  What I'm wondering
is how I manage that. ^^  Should I be looking for a 3.09 or earlier
version that can be installed whole or...?

This is a little snag that has been on my list of things to figure
out for awhile, so all help is appreciated.
