Get gnat-3.10p binaries for linux.  Install that.  You then have all
you need to rebuild gnat-3.10p sources with gcc-2.7.2.

Yes.  The 2.7.2 patches add some setjmp/longjmp enhancements to gcc
in order for gnat to work properly.

Alternately, you can build gnat-3.10p with egcs-1.0.3a and not have to
apply any patches whatsoever (which might be a good idea, since the
gcc-2.7.2 patches included with gnat-3.10p break the gcc optimizer
when compiling glibc-2.0.6).
