GNAT only guarantees that it will build with the previous (immediately previous) version of GNAT. They're at version 3.09 now, and that would mean rebuilding over 13 versions of GNAT with different versions of gcc. We stopped tracking GNAT because they moved to gcc 2.7.x at or around GNAT 2.05/6. Not all versions of GNAT are still available either. Not having GNAT is one of the big roadblocks in our making heavier use out of FreeBSD. I _really_ want to get this built.
