As the subject really.

I've been declined to add Ada to Gentoo because of various reasons, one bei=
ng the earliest compiler supported. The GNAT bootstrap Steve Arnold build i=
s based on 4.9.3 which is a a good base version to have, but say if someone=
 did want to build an earlier compiler will this build it?

I've successfully built 4.9.3 with that bootstrap and then using the built =
4.9.3 to build 5.1.0, so that's good, just need to know the other way aroun=
d.

Thanks,
Luke.
