In Debian it is the Gnat 3.14p which is te current stable compiler. The
next compiler will be gnat 3.2 (gcc). the Gnat 3.14p in Debian does not
contain the Ada-aware gdb.

Ada support for GDB

   I've modifed ACT's patch for GDB5 so that it builds cleanly against
   GDB 5.2. It hasn't been imported into the mainline yet, but hopefully
   will be soon. Apply it in the top level directory with patch. It was
   last tested against the CVS snapshot from 2002-07-09. You can
   download it here. If you use it, and especially if you have any
   problems with it, please email me.
