Sorry, I wasn't clear in my original statement. What I meant to say was that it's preventing me from building PLplot with a 64-bit compiler on OS X 10.5 Leopard. I was surprised to discover that the Apple-supplied gcc on 10.5 Leopard is 32-bit: otherwise, I could have compiled the Ada parts on Adacore's GPL and the C++ parts with Apple's gcc. The reasons for wanting to use Adacore's 2010 GPL are (to a lesser extent) that it finally fixes the linking to BLAS and LAPACK and fixes the problem with the non-blocking Get_Immediate, and (to a greater extent) I want to evaluate GPS, and the installation of the whole thing is really easy. I don't know whether I can replace only the compiler in all of that (the Adacore package) and expect the tools such as GPS to still work. Another important reason is that, as the "Ada guy" on the PLplot dev team, I wanted to make some effort to see that a 64-bit installation on Leopard is possible. I suppose that even with the deficiency in the Adacore compiler, I could achieve a 64-bit build on 10.6 Snow Leopard but I have lagged behind in moving to that OS because of hassles in getting the Xcode IDE to work with Ada.
