I agree that, for some reason, this tools target pair is not actioned for target arm-eabi. Perhaps there should be another PR? The effect is that arm-eabi-gnatmake is unable to build libraries on this platform. However, gprbuild is OK. I always use gprbuild when building libraries because it does a much better job, and is necessary when building Darwin dylibs. I understand (can’t remember where from) that AdaCore intend to remove the ability of gnatmake to build libraries for any target in future releases. If this is true, I think it would be regrettable, since gprbuild isn’t part of GCC (it does have copyright assignment to FSF, though). GCC 5 is still OK.
