Yeah, I was under the impression GCC 4.2 had all of Ada 2005. Then I was
wondering if this was something specific to FreeBSD. Apparently not.
I've built the latest GCC 4.3 snapshot:

% /opt/gcc43/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20070615 (experimental)

.. and AWS builds as expected.

My concern now is GCC 4.3 for production use. Do we think these updates
will be/can be backported to GCC 4.2? For that matter, will GNAT GPL
2007 build under FreeBSD? Maybe I should give that a shot.

Thanks
