Right. That's why I use Gnat 3.15p :-)). 

Freezing the tool set is OK for a single projekt. But I think it's
useless to build a general code base (like, say, additional widget
sets which one would like to reuse in future projects) on a foundation
which will not be there (maintained) for some years.
