I'd like to point out that GNAT bugs should be reported to
gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu, since not all GNAT developers read c.l.a, and
those that do give higher priority to keeping up with gnat-report.  As
it happens, the bug you describe is a known bug which is currently
being investigated by the GNAT team.  It appears to be a bug in the
i386 code generator.  Until a fix is developed, you can use the following
work-around:

	When make starts compiling files in ada/rts, use ^Z to
	suspend make.  Change directory to ada/rts, and compile
	s-arit64.adb and s-tasclo.adb manually, using the GNAT 2.03
	compiler and the same options that make used to compile the
	other files in ada/rts.  Then unsuspend the make command.

It sure sounds like I know what I'm talking about, right?  :-)
