I think this was supposed to be fixed in version 4.2, or perhaps 4.3. I seem to recall a bit of work being done to clean up target incompatibilities. You can build a stage1 Ada compiler, but the stage2 code it generates is broken. This was the bug I reported at the time: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20797 Regards, Nick.
