Running GNAT GPL 2006 on Debian is easy.  Just install and run.  The
trouble I had was building GPS from source and linking dynamically
with all shared libraries (I even created new shared libraries for
that purpose, like libgnatprj, libgnatvsn and libtemplates_parser).
The GPS in Debian has 871 lines worth of patches.

Thanks, but there still are annoying bugs [1] which appear not to be
present in AdaCore's distribution.  Luckily I am not alone in trying
to solve them.
