Today, gnat 3.15p-10 arrived in Debian Unstable.  In this upload, I
have backported several fixes from GCC's main line of development.
One of these fixes allows programmers to use Ada tasking with the New
POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) as provided by Linux 2.6 and glibc 2.3.
It is thus no longer necessary to use "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1" as
before.

I do not normally announce each new upload, but I thought that this
particular fix would be of interest to more people.  In particular,
those of you not using Debian may want to extract my patches from
Debian and apply them on your platform.

As usual, if no release-critical bug is reported against this package,
it will reach Testing in 10 days.

It has been one year since I started to work on Debian, so you can
call this the "anniversary edition" :)

Here is the complete changelog, for the curious:
