But one could recompile the package so it didn't need to I guess.
Doesn't matter if gnatmem isn't there I don't think it worked in 3.14p
either (?)

If you could send me that and the deb packages it would be great! I'll
try them out here.

Yes please do!

Now what we can do is making the following packages for 3.15p:

   Gtkada_2.2.0
   Asis            (note no asis in gcc 3.x)
   libasasocket
   gnade
   gnathtml
   gvd
   gps (??? don't remember if one can use 3.15p for this)
   aws

etc...

Great work!
