Just so the picture is clear, GNAT cannot compile C, it is an Ada 95
compiler! However, it is part of the GCC system, which is a multi-language
compiler. The standard distribution of GCC made with GNAT includes the
C compiler, but does not include the C++ compiler, which must be separately
obtained. The easiest thing is to obtain g++ separately and install it as
a completely separate program, but if you know what you are doing, you can
merge the two distribtions together to form a single unified gcc that
can compile C, Ada 95 and C++ (as well as Chill, Fortran 77 etc etc if
you install these as well).
