Yes, I got the whole tree.
I get the same result for 4.6.1 as for 18.2 - lots of unresolved symbols.

Hmm, yes - do you have anything more detailed ?
I don't quite follow this boostrap thing.
Does gprbuild depend on xmlada?

looking in the branches/gprbuild-1.6 directory it is still xmlada
$ ./configure --help
`configure' configures XML/Ada 4.2w to adapt to many kinds of systems.

are you talking about the gprbuild in https://github.com/AdaCore/xmlada ?

It seems that I'm on the wrong rack. No matter what I do I get
unresolved symbols.

The gprbuild from pacman is 18.0w.
The one from github is within the 18.2 tree
but the gprbuild --version shows 18.1

Neither works now to build xmlada 18.2
