I thought I would try to build it on NetBSD, but then I noticed
this at the beginning of the gcc34 build:

The following variables will affect the build process of this package,
gcc34-3.4.6nb1.  Their current value is shown below:

        * BUILD_ADA = NO

So, this feels like catch 22.  The makefile says it needs an ada compiler
to bootstrap the new ada compiler, but the new compiler by default does
not build ada. Seems to me even if the gcc34 package did build okay, you
still need an ada compiler.  Anyone here think this should work?
