I could finally get all yesterday. Using FSF GCC 4.6.1 (not the Debian  
one), using XMLAda 3.2 and ASIS 2010 from Debian and GPRBuild 2011 and  
AUnit 2011 from AdaCore Libre. I also had to use a libaddr2line (see  
below) which I found on the web. This was a bit tricky in some parts, but  
it all works and won't do it again before long. I had to partially patch  
GPRBuild, using a subset of the patch used by Debian.

I did not used GPRBuild from Debian, because it invariably stopped at  
startup with a runtime error (something erroneous with a pointer).

As this was a bit tricky in some parts, I won't bother people here with  
the details. If some one interested, drop me a mail. I may also provide an  
archive of compiled source for i386, but its hug for my hosting, 90M. So I  
wont unless it is really of interest to someone.

Note to people: be aware of differences between AUnit from AdaCore and  
AUnit from Debian, both are really not the same. This may be worth to have  
a look at the one from AdaCore too, to get an idea of the differences.

For people with trouble with a missing libaddr2line:
http://libaddr2line.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libaddr2line/libaddr2line;a=tree;
Compile and copy in /usr/lib
After compiling, you will find a test program, named raiseit, in the test  
directory to be sure it works for you.
Explicitly written to be used with GNAT. Limitation: 64 bits not supported  
so far, as said in the TODO file.
