And a correct one it is.  By policy, the only way I can harvest cycles
for long-running jobs on the CS department's largish collection of
machines is to run them under Condor, but they use the checkpointing
feature (to migrate running jobs between machinces), which requires
running a Condor-provided wrapper to the compiler (to link in the
checkpoint stuff, I suppose).  No Ada compilers are listed, but since
gcc is, and since I'm laboring under the assumption that GNAT is "built
on" gcc, I'm hoping that the Condor components can be linked in to
replace gcc modules, rather than any GNAT-specific modules.

Has anyone tried it?
