Not sure about the patches (I know one of mine never got implemented -
to do with the visibility of switches passed to ranlib), but the
outstanding bugs don't get cleared just because they're fixed, someone
has to report that the problem has been solved. Not that AdaCore folk
don't look at new bugs, just that there's no obvious curatorial effort.
