 Sorry, s/build/tools/ (such as gnatmake; gnatbind has to be built
 during compiler bootstrap, together with gnat1).

 I'm aware of this.

 In fact, I don't see any reason why it should inhibit moving all of
 it.  gcc/ada/Make-lang.in can just reference the files from
 $(srcdir)/../libada/.

 I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean here.

 Didn't realize that.  Good point.  (I don't think it's a release
 blocker, though, even if Ada is considered part of the release.)

 For technical reasons, the GNAT front end is built using the run-time
 library sources which come with the compiler sources, and not using
 the installed GNAT run-time library on the host system.  In other
 words, the compiler depends on a (rather small) subset of the run-time
 library sources.
 
 However, there is no reason why a large part of the run-time library
 could not be moved to a separate directory.  For the build, we should
 use another separate directory, IMHO.

 Since the present system means that the Ada libraries aren't properly
 built in multilib variants, this should be considered an actual serious
 bug, not just a low-priority change-request.
