[Bug ada/36562] New: gnatmake not processing shared library projects

[chrisp_42 at bigpond dot com]

The changes described in
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg00607.html> entitled "More code
clean up in mlib-tgt-*" changes/renames a number of files from the form
mlib-tgt-xxxxxx.adb to mlib-tgt-specific-xxxxxx.adb.

However the corresponding changes were not made to gnatlib/configure.ac.
This results in a softlink from mlib-tgt-specific.adb in the tools build
directory to a non-existent file.  When gnatmake is built the default
mlib-tgt-specific.adb file is used.  Any attempt to use the new gnatmake to
build against a library project results in a failure with an error message
stating libraries are not supported on this platform.

The fix is to change all occurrences of mlib-tgt-xxxxx.adb to
mlib-tgt-specific-xxxx.adb in gnatlib/configure.ac and to regenerate
gnatlib/configure.  Additionally two occurrences where not updated in
gcc/ada/Makefile.in (*86 kfreebsd and sh4 linux).

A more interesting question (which I have not explored yet) is why the build
silently ignores the bad symlink, and continues on using a default file from
further down the search list.
