Re: Gcc-ada errata?

[Chris Turner <c.turner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

there was some recent commit to CURRENT about needing to enable GCC4 via
make.conf ..

but if that still doesn't work:

Might be possible to bootstrap and/or port via FreeBSD emulation ..

I've got a DragonFly support patch for CMUCL that I keep meaning
to submit that was developed via the easily-obtained
FreeBSD executables..

not sure how that would hook in with the GCC build procedure,
but :

"This is left as an exercise for the reader" :)
