Hi,
I’ve sent in a patch to the gentoo-dev ml to add at least, basic GNAT support to Gentoo.

This will likely be the last time I try to get Ada in Gentoo, I’ve tried before, there’s always some issue and this time is no different, demands I can’t meet, see the thread.

I tried their GNAT more than a year ago, when they added [**ada** flag](https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592060) to `toolchain.eclass` and it worked well. I don’t use Gentoo (unfortunately?).
