Thanks - may come back to that.

For now, 'one challenge at a time', so trying gcc4.1 on FBSD 6 AMD-64.

If it is broken there, it is broken, full-stop, AFAIAC (Leenux nor its interface 
layer, not being on my radar).

And 'make check' was not happy just now - well before getting at all Ada-ish, so 
I may have to revert to trying an older version on FBSD 4.X.

Or use the PowerBook :-(
