Do you have any plans to coordinate this with the GCC maintainers of
all RPM-based distributions?  It would be nice if these "community"
builds of GNAT showed up as the default in Fedora, Red Hat, Mandriva
and SuSE.

Of course, this is already the case in Debian and FreeBSD :)

I'm starting to work on the transition from gnat to GCC 4.1 now.  I
will give an update on this transition during the FOSDEM in late
February.
