We don't know.  Nobody's actually tried it...  Well, maybe one person,
but I don't know what version of GNAT and EGCS he was working with or
how much time he spent on it.

Most, if not all of those patches should be in EGCS.

However, other changes made since gcc-2.7 may prevent GNAT from building.

Folding in GNAT is one of our long term goals; anything you can do to help
us reach that goal would be greatly appreciated.

I'll help as much as I can :-)

I'd pick one platform and stick with it until you can get something that
works.

There's been a report of some problems with mips-sgi-irix5.2 which
occur due to -lmalloc.  I don't know if those might be related to your
irix5.3 problems.

As for the misaligned data error -- can you provide some more details?
What program got the misaligned data error?
