Just to be clear, the someone else here is us! Richard Kenner maintains the
version of GCC we work on, and is one of the founders of Ada Core
Technologies. The development of GNAT and GCC are kept very well synchronized
as a result. That is why for example it is the case that all GNAT patches
appear immediately in the GCC snapshots. There are no GCC patches in GNAT
that are not reflected in the GCC sources.
What we do for any given version of GNAT is to baseline on a particular GCC
version, and then apply just those patches that are needed by GNAT. That
results in the patch file that you see. We could get the same effect by basing
the release on a particular set of snapshots, but it is cleaner to key the
release to an established gcc release.
