*Correct me if I've got the details wrong but.....*

The comment above could be significant. As far as I know, gcc-2.8.x was the last 
GNU maintained version of gcc; there isn't (again AFAIK) a version 2.9.5, but 
there is an EGCS maintained version 2.95.x.

Now, from the GNAT point of view, there are masses of patches that need to be 
applied to to even get near being able to use gcc 2.95.x with GNAT, and ACT are 
not even attempting to produce a version of GNAT that runs on 2.95. They are 
working (with the EGCS guys) on making sure that GNAT and gcc-2.96 work 
together.

These could be a contributory factor to what the problems are, but there is more 
than likely more to it than that.

Hope this is of use though.
