Hi Jerry:

So once this Ada build issue appeared again for me yesterday after all those previous successful hardware checks, I did a google search for the terms (without the quotes) "gnatmake intermittent build error" and found <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=65451> which was a bug report in 2015 about intermittent Ada build issues which was immediately fixed back then. However, my gnat version (= 4.9.2) is from 2014 so I don't have that bugfix and I am pretty sure at this stage that bug 65451 is the issue that is causing the intermittent Ada build issues for me. Therefore, I plan to use the -DENABLE_ada=OFF option for my further testing until I can get access to a later version of the Ada build tools myself, and I suggest others who currently don't have access to Ada build tools with bug 65451 fixed should do the same.
Just to follow up for Debian Buster with gnat-7 (as opposed to gnat-4 that I was using for Debian Jessie) the first test of Ada has been a complete success. See commit 994723471 for the details of the tests I ran. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
