Not actually a cross build, which would be specified by configuring
with --target=x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0; I don't know what the
technical name is, but configuring with --build=x86_64-apple-
darwin10.2.0 does the trick.

Unfortunately the built compiler won't handle exceptions; a severe
failing. Perhaps Apple have changed the OS features that GNAT uses to
support exception handling? (I tried configuring with --enable-sjlj-
exceptions, no joy).
