Go to a system (say, i386 ;-) ) which has a gnat binary, and build a cross-compiler version of GCC 3.3 (including gnat) from that system to your amd64 system. (You'll have to build it from the upstream sources, and you'll probably also need to build a cross assembler. This is a complex and annoying process, unfortunately; I've been trying to make it better, but no luck yet.) Then, use the cross tools you just built (amd64-gcc, amd64-gnat, etc.) to build binaries for amd64 -- the first one will be a copy of GCC including gnat. (That's a "cross-built native", and it's also rather annoying complex at the moment.) Move those to your amd64 machine, and you have a compiler which you can use to bootstrap GCC. Sorry this is such a complicated process, but you do only have to do it once; once you have one working GCC with gnat on amd64, you can just use it to build the next one, etc. -- Make sure your vote will count. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/
