Anyone seen this (DFLY 1.8 REL, Celeron 1 GHz, 512MB SDRAM, IBM/Hitachi PATA
20GB HDD):
=====
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/gcc34-ada
# bmake install -DUSE_GCC34
Oops -- ignore my other answer.  I read the README ;o)  The gcc34 Makefile
clearly assumes that you've already build gcc34 *with* ada.  AFAICT, the
only way you can do that is to install gcc3 first, because that includes
ada by default.  You can then bootstrap to gcc34, or maybe even directly
to gcc34-ada without building gcc34, not sure.
Let's see...

Joy!  gcc 4.0 and later should be OK as-is?
