Hi Ludovic. 
Have your patches approved by upstream? 
I'm waiting for this because I cannot update gprbuild without correct sources
of GCC FSF... (libgnat, gnat_urils or smth else). Besides there are some issues
with aunit-2011 gcc-4.7 and gprbuild-2010

I have resolved this problem in Debian by creating two additional libraries
from the GCC sources: libgnatvsn (GNAT Version Library under GPL3 with Runtime
Library Exception) and libgnatprj (Project File parser under pure GPL).  For
full details, see:

* Debian Ada Policy
  http://people.debian.org/~lbrenta/debian-ada-policy.html
* my presentation at FOSDEM 2011
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3HvUH4fJPM
* the stack of Debian patches that implement the idea:
  ada-link-lib.diff, ada-libgnatvsn.diff, ada-libgnatprj.diff in this order.

I am willing to submit these patches upstream to GCC; however they do introduce
a potential problem: they make libgnat necessary on the host as well as on the
target.   Indeed, with these patches, all GNAT tools (gnatmake and friends) are
now linked dynamically against libgnat-$V.so and the two new libraries
libgnatvsn.so.$V and libgnatprj.so.$V (for V in 4.1 .. 4.6).
