I've been eyeballing compiling from the GCC trunk for about a week
now, and you're right, there is no need for me to wait for a 4.6
release.  I used the 4.4 SVN regularly when it was being developed,
and never actually had any problems compiling Ada programs.  Don't
know why I've been hesitant this time.

Is this a subtle hint?  If so, I'm willing to give it a shot once I'm
done moving (I'm wasting precious packing time replying now!) and I'll
let you know if I have any success.
