 This doesn't work, since gnat needs gnat to be compiled.
 I did try to cross-compile on an alpha running tru64.
 But it doesn't work, since the bin-utils do not allow
 the combination to be run on an alpha-tru64 and compile for
 an alpha-linux.
    I also tried to install the gnat-binaries from tru64
 on linux-alpha. This also does not work, since the gnat executable
 produces assembler that the linux-assembler does not like.
 I really did spend some weekends to get a running gnat on
 linux-Alpha.

   So: Ada and Linux are not a good combination on the
 Alpha platform.
