In fact as you note, the primary issue is the glibc version, and in fact the
current version of GNAT 3.11 does in fact run under Redhat 5.1, that is what
we have installed. We are not making any attempt at the current time to build
with EGCS (in fact we found that several of our customers using Linux actually
preferred to use GCC 2.8 in any case).
