I'd guess that they did the port effort on 2.95 (that's the GCC that SuSE S390 comes with), since 2.8.1 was ancient when they started. It would be quite hard to get GNAT working on 2.95, and it would be quite hard to backport gcc on S390 to 2.8.1. Better do some homework here. I have the same problem with PowerPC, but hopefully the 3.0 port of GNAT will make things all better :-). And if my memory serves correctly, Mr. Dewar has said "days or weeks" instead of "months or years", so maybe my waiting days will be over soon. But things will probably not be smooth with 3.0 for a while. -Corey "Ken O. Burtch" writes: > The 390 account is on loan for only 3 months.
