Why do you need to pass it to ADA_TOOLS_FLAGS_TO_PASS though? Just replace $(GNATMAKE) with gnatmake. > 2. Some builds might need to pass LDFLAGS to the gnat* builds. Appended > LDFLAGS to GCC_LINK.

OK, but don't you need to do the same for gnatmake/gnatbind/gnatlink here? See gcc-interface/Make-lang.in, line 171 and below, for similar code. -- Eric Botcazou
