The patch you suggested changed nothing. I will finally go on using a  
renaming script to be applied to the built applications whose target is  
that of the host. Just for a sample, the two script I run from  
`<prefix>/bin` are attached to this message.

Then, for the undefined reference to `Is_Elaborated`, I've not reverted  
the patch from AdaCore, but instead created a supplementary patch. After a  
quick review of `bindgen.adb`, it appears there was indeed an  
inconsistency, precisely between `procedure Generateadainit` and  
`Generateadafinal`. As an attached file, is the patch  
`gcc-4.8-ada-bindgen.adb.patch` (also attached, is the patch you  
suggested, for GCC 4.8 instead of for GCC 4.7).

I may propose the `gcc-4.8-ada-bindgen.adb.patch` patch to the GCC mailing  
list.

P.S. Seems nntp.aioe.org does not allow attachments, so here are the
