The current version of GNAT is not compatible with the current
version of EGCS. We do not know of any set of patches that
would achieve this compatibility.

You can use GNAT with cygwin if you want (remember that
cygwin is GPL'ed, so this is only a suitable approach if
your application is GPL'ed, or if you get the commercial
version of cygwin (at least this used to be the case, check
the licensing carefully as always).

Future versions of GNAT will be compatible with future versions
of GCC, based on the current EGCS.
