I am not sure to understand. I could already built some GNAT binaries
without so much trouble, even with some modified setup (I even modified
some tiny things in some minor parts of the compiler itself at that time).
What do you mean by “the exact same setup” here ? Can you explain with an
example ?
What would be amazing, would be valid sources not compiling (and most of
GNAT is written in Ada). That sound mysterious.
