Debian woody ix86-linux

The installation instructions mention that --suffix and kin
don't work on Ada binaries. This is an understatement; when --suffix=-3.1 is used, the new gnatmake still looks for gcc, not gcc-3.1, meaning that gnatmake (and basically all Ada compilations) either fail or use the wrong gcc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build gcc with --suffix=-3.1. Run the resulting gnatmake on files. Notice it runs gcc, not gcc-3.1.

Then it's probably gnatmake which needs fixing, not the documentation.
The --suffix feature seems to be not too unreasonable to me (and it
could lead to GNAT 3.14p/GCC 3.1 interoperability on Debian).
