Robert persists in implying that I was unable to build due to some
defect in my understanding of how to actually compile GNAT.  I have
been successfully building GNAT since version 2.04.  My "furious"
complaint was actually that GNAT (3.09) couldn't compile GNAT: due to
the introduction of a buggy fix to the patch file one is required to
apply to gcc before attempting compilation.
