While it builds on both i386 and AMD64, the AMD64 build fails on tasking, rendering it useless. The new port lang/gnat-aux functionally replaces lang/gcc-gnat44. Moreover, the new Ada ports such as devel/gps, www/aws, etc, require gnat-aux and will not build with any other version of gnat due to the dependency on devel/gprbuild-aux. Additionally, lang/gcc-gnat44 is broken on current. The last commit on Makefile is "Mark as broken on -CURRENT: needs distinfo update." For all these reasons, I recommend that port lang/gcc-gnat44 be removed effective immediately. I have discussed this with the maintainer and he agrees. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Delete the port. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
