Is the fact that GCC 3.4.1 runs the ACATS withouth a single
failure an indication of a compiler that you can not rely on?
(BTW, GCC 3.3.3's Ada part is not among users' favorites, afaikt.)

Otherwise, do producers of compilers for "non-Ada" languages
manage to convey the impression that their compilers don't
have bugs? I think that C++ compilers, or Eiffel compilers, or ...,
are praised to support almost all of the respective language
and libraries. Are there different expectations of an Ada
compiler?
