The original version of GNAT was bootstrapped using Alsys Ada
on a Sun, but at this stage it would be an essentially hopeless
cause to build GNAT by any other path than bootstrapping it.
You can of course build GNAT from source, by starting with a
binary version of GNAT and then using it to compile GNAT.
