Not quite sure what the problem was .. Debian puts the compiler
dependencies for ASIS (and GNATColl - if Debian has libgnatcoll) in
libgnatvsn.

The latest GNAT GPL includes libgnat_util which does the same.

I made a version of libgnat_util[1] which does the same and includes
tools to build it (rather than just being the finished product, as
AdaCore's is).

GCC 5's build process creates gcc/ada/tools/ which looks as though it
might bear some relationship, I haven't investigated this yet but it
_might_ be the answer to your prayers.
