Hi
The license wording will soon be changed and Ada gcc/ada/scn.adb
(function Determine_License) currently checks about licence.
Any change to the wording breaks Ada bootstrap as Jakub found out.
How should we proceed? What will happen with existing
installed compilers?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent

scn.adb needs to be updated to recognize the new text I assume.
What would be the new wording, and in what way does it break scn.adb?

Good question, the change in headers may indeed break bootstrap.

I have already changed the patch under development so that the text in
the ada files now reads:
As a special exception under Section 7 of GPL version 3, you
are granted additional permissions described in the GCC Runtime
Library Exception, version 3.1, as published by the Free Software
Foundation.
This includes the magic words "As a special exception" which should
satisfy the license scanner.
Cheers
Nick
