Well, these two version numbers differ in terms and content...

Please see the page that I linked in my previous post.

Well, these conditions are enforced by the requirement that the
derived work is distributed with the same license. If you have two
libraries (like GNAT runtime and my library) with different licenses,
then obviously the whole program cannot have the same license as each
of its dependants at the same time.
Again, please refer to the FSF webpage.
Interestingly, they don't consider it to be a problem...
