Yes, Debian at home and Red Hat at the university.

Actually, no.  The RPMs provide symbolic tracebacks and a GNAT-enabled
GDB which works most of the time.  In addition, there are RPMs for
Florist and other bindings.  The last time I checked, binaries linked
against the shared runtime library (i.e., GNARL) didn't even run on
the other system.
