Tor-Einar says

<<Ok, I'll try this. But, the GNAT-port for AmigaOS is version 2.06, so
do you know if any of the newest versions of GNAT will compile with
this old version, or do I have to get the older sources and do a step-
by-step upgrade. It says in the installation-guides, that it's only
guaranteed that GNAT will compile with the last version of GNAT, but
I might have luck, or not.

There is no possible hope of compiling the latest version of GNAT with
2.06. There are features that are simply not implemented that far back.
Indeed it is quite unusual that one can compile GNAT other than with
the previous version.

So if there is no more up to date AmigoOS port, that approach will not
work (are you sure there is no more recent Amiga port? I don't keep
track of them, but my memory was of a more recent port than that.
