GNAT built and ran without incident (for me anyway), without needing any
patches, with egcs-1.0.3c.

gcc-2.8.1 has quite a few more bugs than egcs-1.x.  Is there any reason
your software won't build with either egcs-1.0.3c or egcs-1.1b?

A patch is required to build gnat-3.10p with egcs-1.1b.  I can make it
available to anyone who wants it...
