[gtkada] gate bug

[Philippe Bertin]

Hello all,

Is this bug confirmed ? I think it will be.

But the patch is not OK. I initially tested it a first way, then changed 
it into a second version, sent the second version as a patch. But now 
found out that the diff statement had to stay like it was, and that the 
cp statement (commented out in the second version) was wright from the 
start.

Is my way of working not similar to anyone else's way of working (that 
is, to erase the src directory every now and then) ? Because I am 
puzzled as the bug must have lived already rather long. Or is my 
conclusion that there is a bug just not right ?

Kind regards,

PhB
