I installed Fedora 14 recently and tested it a bit. Unfortunately it is
unusable to me. I didn't really tested it for the compiler bugs (there were
plenty before), because the first stumble block I could not overcome was an
outdated gnatmake It does not support relocatable library projects to
depend on static ones. Binutils have some libraries only static, and I
needed them. The older gnatmake just ignored the issue. The newer one does
not, but the switch to shut it up (--unchecked-shared-lib-imports) is not
there. gprbuild is not there either. So I put it in ice until another
version.

It seems that GNAT GPL 2010 is still the only choice for Fedora 14.
