Even if you should manage to solve this issue, then there remains the
GNAT not supporting multilibs. IMO, this basically leaves GNAT the same
shape as it has been with gcc-3.x: pretty much useless.

This patch is obsolete. Joern checked in a replacement a couple of days
ago (cf. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19528)

+ The sparc/t-rtems (LINK_GCC_C_SEQUENCE_SPEC) patch is missing.
Bernardo's recent patch did not fix this issue. I have a local patch
pending, but have not yet tested it with current GCC-4.0.

+ I still need to resolve the sh-multilib issue.

No problem - I have these, rsp. my current versions, in a local CVS.
