If someone's building RPMs, I hope it's against Redhat 6.1 and uses
egcs.  GCC 2.95 was released on July 31 and still seems unfit to build
a reliable Linux kernel.  It was rumored by Mr. Dewar that ACT had
donated gnat to be merged into the GCC distribution.  Last I heard, it
was a non-trivial effort to get gnat merged into egcs-1.1.2; but that
was much, much earlier this year.  However, absence of evidence isn't
evidence of absence!  That said, I still have my doubts that an egcs
patch exists for gnat-3.12p.  Does someone know whether we'll see gnat
merged into the gcc-3.0 release?
