Is an external copy of GNAT really required to build the ada language in gcc trunk? On powerpc-apple-darwin9, I am seeing configure fail with...configure: error: GNAT is required to build ada ...when ada is added to the language set. Certainly this isn't the desired behavior.
GNAT is written in Ada, so you need an Ada compiler to start a build, just as you need a C compiler to build the C compiler.
