Sorry for the delay. I am on travel.

As far as I understand, the patch went into GCC 4.5.x. repo at the FSF (see http://www.rtems.org/pipermail/rtems-users/2010-April/006867.html )
I always build Ada (and other languages) using the full gcc tarballs. 
The build
sequence for Ada (and other languages with threading) requires having RTEMS
built and installed before doing the secondary build of gcc.

Use the full gcc tarball from ftp.gnu.org as a starting point.

I don't recall doing it but if there is a need, it is easy to add to the 
current
4.10 patch set. Or at least put it on the ftp site.

Well it means that without that patch, gcc 4.4.x won't build for it.

Based on my testing pattern then, it is likely that I was testing the gcc
head and forward looking and didn't get a fix in 4.4. :(

If you need me to build something and prepare a patch, it will
take a few days but I need to know all the versions you are
using to work from.
