[gtkada] GTKAda install problem on RH 8.0

I get the following compilation failure when I try to install GTKAda on RH8.0:


[root at localhost lib-obj]# gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall  -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0
-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0

I see that this is a known problem caused by gcc-2.8.1 not working for all C
files. Consequently I took the advice from an earlier thread (see ref at end of
this mail) and changed my default gcc from gcc-2.8.1 to gcc-3.2 just for this
compilation. I expected it to compile OK and fail to link until I switched back
to gcc-2.8.1 but what actually happened was that misc.c simply failed to
compile again as follows:


[root at localhost lib-obj]# gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall  -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0
-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0
-I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include   -I.. -fPIC ../misc.c

../misc.c:3490: warning: implicit declaration of function `GDK_DISPLAY_XDISPLAY'

More tips would be very much appreciated.
