Note that I haven't had time yet to actually use anything in
/opt/gnat/gcc/bin in a non-trivial way; I have only invoked them in
ways such as

gcc -v 
or 
strings --help

etc, to verify that they don't crash immediately; there may very well
be other problems that turn up when I have time for more detailed
testing.
