I hav long since lost count of how many times I have posted this information
to this group, and to the gnat-chat mail list (where gnat-specific questions
are better answered). There are many messages regarding this subject in the
gnat-chat archives, accessible through the www.gnat.com home page.

I have posted this message several times on gnat chat -- so here it is
again:
For what it's worth, Here's how I have gnat-3.10p running on RedHat 5.0.
I did it originally with the 2.0.31 kernel, the upgraded to the 2.0.32
kernel.
The fundamental problem is that RedHat 5.0 increases the size of sigset_t
from 32 bits to 1024 bits.
To correct this problem, the file s-osinte.ads needs to be altered -- e.g.
as follows:
591c591,593
< type sigset_t is new unsigned_long;
---
> SIGSET_NWORDS : constant := 1024 / (unsigned_long'Size);
>
> type sigset_t is array (1 .. SIGSET_NWORDS) of unsigned_long;
Then, the adalib(s) need to be compiled -- either the native linux threads
runtime or the Florida State University (fsu) runtime, or both.
To do this I executed the following script in each adalib directory:
#!/bin/tcsh -f
foreach f (../adainclude/*.ad[bs])
gcc -c -O2 -gnatpga -I- $f
end
To be sure, this script re-compiles some stuff not rendered obsolete by
the change to s-osinte.ads, but it was quicker just to recompile
everything than to figure out what needed to be recompiled.
Next, the libgnat.a archive needs to be rebuilt with something like:
ar ru libgnat.a *.o, in each of the adalibs.
In my case, the size of the libgnat.a file for the native rts changed as
follows:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1747090 Feb 14 12:21 ../adalib/libgnat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 4168 1100 1740584 Aug 24 1997
../adalib/libgnat.a.orig
I don't remember for sure, but I don't think I manually manipulated any of
the symbolic links related to the libraries, but at any rate, here's what my
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1 directory looks like (sorry but these
long lines may wrap in you mail client):

As a further sanity check, executing "gcc -v" should result in a message
like:
Reading specs from: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/specs
The 2.7.2.1 directory points to 2.7.2.3 because gcc 2.7.2.3 was installed
first (as part of the Linux installation), then gnat was installed on top of
that -- and gnat is 2.7.2.1-based.
I hope I've covered all of the bases here, as this installation is working
fine for me.
I should acknowledge that others of this group helped me when I ran into the
problem a few weeks ago, identifying the cause of the problem and providing
the broad outline of what to do.
Good luck to all who have this problem.
