Well, it doesn't matter if they are GNAT or GCC specific, I believe you need FSF paperwork on file for either of them to be upstreamed. There really isn't much of a difference between the GPL version of GNAT (from AdaCore) or the GCC GNAT - the GPL version is released from some stable GCC version. AdaCore eventually upstreams all of their changes into GCC. If you notice, the FreeBSD port of GNAT-GPL no longer has any run time files as local patches because they have been upstreamed. There are only small patches to change the binary names (e.g., gcc -> gnatgcc) or other minor configuration changes. Anyway, it would be really nice to upstream your changes, to make the ports simpler, and so that GNAT-GPL will also eventually inherit AMD64 support. But regardless, thank you for your work! -- DE
