Although I am just as happy to see GNAT get a community project behind it to insure unencumbered runtimes and compilers available freely to all in simple easy install packages. I am sure many including myself would get involved to work on bugs and issues if it was clear and easy to get a working dev environment and clear path to submit fixes. That may exist now, I just don't know. Anyone have any links to getting started with building and how to submit to the FSF changes? David Botton
