For the second time: GNATS PRs 6016, 6160, 6552, 6573, 6584, 6661, 6669, 6696, 6767, 6816, 6851, 6852, 6853, 6872, 6879, 6931, 6942, 7209, and 7337. Now I did just succeed in building the GCC 3.3 source tree with Ada enabled (incl make gnatlib_and_tools), using C and Ada compilers from GCC 3.2. It is possible that some or all of these PRs have been fixed. However, the impression one gets flipping through GNATS is that they have all been ignored. zw
