I think the "make gnatlib_and_tools" may no longer be necessary.  I
followed the beaten path, did an Ada only install, and I ended up with
what appears to be a complete gnat tool set.  Then I tried that
command anyway just out of curiosity:

  # make gnatlib_and_tools
  make: *** No rule to make target `gnatlib_and_tools'.  Stop.

The only tool that appears to be missing is GDB.  I imagine that's a
seperate package that I have to download.

I think these installation instructions are in a flux.  Someone said
they could be found in ./doc, but there is no such folder in 4.0.2.
There is a ./INSTALL folder, but those procedures made it appear that
Ada would be installed automatically.  One would have to read through
all the switches to have discovered that Ada needed special
attention.
