Well, I don't exactly know the people who maintain GCC ? including Gnat ? in 
Fedora, but I know where I can find their names and an email address that 
should reach them. You may count that as distance 1 if you like. I don't 
know if the same people also maintain GCC in RHEL or if someone else does 
that, so that's at least distance 2 unless someone else here in c.l.a is 
more involved in RHEL than I am. Then there are a plethora of other 
Gnu/Linux distributions that may include all of the GCC front ends or only 
some of them. Does Mandriva include Gnat? Does Slackware? Arch? I have no 
idea. If they include it, I'd be surprised if anyone here knows who the 
maintainers are.
