Hi Luke

I was wondering if the patches came from a group, whether the GCC people would accept them without or without Adacore.

I know what trouble you have had with GCC and trying to get GNAT ported over to ARM many years ago.

However, could it be safe to say that most of the bugs are in the runtime and not in the code generation?

So please forget what I was saying about forking an old version of GNAT, looks like a really bad idea as it pretty much looks like it was bolted on without any consultation from the GCC people.

Thanks
