GNAT is not exactly part of gcc. It's a true-to-life compiler that then uses the GCC code-generator for platform independence. But yes, to compile it, you will need to target FreeBSD. I'd reccommend checking the gnat site to see if the generic version will compile and run. The name GNAT is a silly one because they liked the animal reference and GAC or GNAC or NAC wouldn't do good. BTW, it means Gnu-NYU Ada Translator. -John
