I understand the desire to remove gnat-4.4, and I don't disagree.

But please understand that building GHDL to with gnat-4.6 is *much*
easier said than done. (GHDL is not a normal Ada program, but a
completely separate GCC language front-end written primarily in Ada).

I've attempted this several times over a few years. I may give it
another shot. If I'm still unsuccessful, I'll be forced to orphan GHDL
since I can't maintain it and can't be upstream for it.

(If someone else is able to do this work and/or take over GHDL
maintance, I'd be happy to hear from you.)
