It's not difficult to use a newer Gnat on top of Debian, if that is your
only objection. I don't know what the formal objections to updating Gnat
(and its immediate dependencies) to "testing", perhaps Ludovic can say.
But I have built gcc4.7.2 from source and not seen any glitches (beyond
having to set paths so it can find libraries) and I believe Adacore Libre
Gnat would work too. Building from source might not be recommended for a
server though!
