Or you can hire someone who ports future GNAT versions for you. Or perhaps the "official" ACT version works for you. Personally, I don't care about glibc 2.0 any longer. 2.1 has a few very important new features (such as proper pseudo TTYs, which are essential on a multi-user system; and internationalization), and I think it's fair to push people towards it.
