I'm looking forward to it.


FWIW, I have already started with devkitARM build scripts (after some
tweaking to make it work on a FreeBSD host), added Ada to the list in
--enable-languages.

I'm currently stumbling on the gnat* not being installed (there are a
lot of messages like "install: gnatchop: No such file or directory"
and even a "You must first build the GNAT library: make gnatlib").

For some reason, devkitARM build gcc in two steps, first using the
targets `all-gcc` and `install-gcc`, then `all` and `install`, building
and installing newlib in between (and those 3 steps are performed right
after building and installing binutils).

I thought that the "extra" languages (c++ and objective-c in the
original devkitARM) where build in the last step, but I see error in Ada
tools already in the first step.

I will be digging into it, but any insight to help me there would be
welcome.


Thanks in advance,
Natasha
