Do you mean the GCC Bugzilla? I can quite understand why reports against
just GNAT CE wouldn't really be appropriate there.

AdaCore do respond to reports on FSF GCC there, especially if the report
is about the GCC build system or about bad code generation. However, old
bugs don't really get curated as they are fixed in new releases.

This doesn't work where the sources concerned aren't publicly visible in
the repository: for example, the embedded runtimes.

Personally I like to report on Bugzilla where appropriate, because
reports to report@adacore.com aren't publicly visible. I don't know how
annoying it'd be to report in both places.
