..and the correct channel(std) - not stderr. So you could use '|less' to read 
the help screen, which you get *twice* if you enter 'gnatmake -h', BTW.

It's the Ada maintainers who should be dealing with this.  It isn't a
GCC-specific requirement here; supporting --help and --version is a
requirement of the GNU Coding Standards, so all GNU programs should
support them with output in the correct format.

Any idea who to contact about this? I thought we required documentation for all components of 
gcc, and I certainly don't see why Ada should be different.
