Hi Nathanael,
Yes I would like to help.
At the moment my sparc-linux system has some issues (C Library/Linux Kernel)
that appear to be preventing correct operation of execve. Until I have
tracked down the problem, I can only test strait cross-compilation from x86
to sparc. I can however test x86 to x86_64 builds in full.
Regards
Mark Fortescue.

Known bug. Ada doesn't handle build!=host properly yet. Ada has a wacky
build system and I have intermittently been trying to straighten it out
so that this can be fixed.
Your patches are all inappropriate because we are trying to perform a
serious
overhaul of the Ada build system, specifically by pulling all the gnatlib
build stuff into libada/Makefile.* and all the gnattools build stuff into
gnattools/Makefile.* -- this will, eventually, solve these problems.
If you would like to help with that please contact me.
