Great. Have you posted any of these builds to build at rtems.org?

Should the RSB check the version of GCC's Gnat?

Oh this complicated issue again [1]. I suspect this one is not going to go away
in a hurry and the solution will need to be clearly thought out.

Could you please update the ticket with this detail so it is captured? I have
not built Ada for RTEMS so I am not sure what the exe prefixes etc are.
