[Clfs-support] Is a Cross-Toolchain with Ada Possible using CLFS Procedure?

[Layne Cook]

My goal is to create a GNU-based cross-toolchain for powerpc with Ada
and C front-ends.

I've successfully created a powerpc toolchain using CLFS book 1.1.0. I
then tried to add Ada as a language by adding --enable-languages=c,c
++,ada to the final step (5.9 Cross GCC-4.2.4 - Final, with shared
libraries).  I'm using my distribution's native gnat tools (Ubuntu 10.10
with gcc 4.4.5 and GNATBIND 4.4.5 20100909).

I ran into some Ada problems which I was able to patch, then I hit one
that just won't budge.  I'm not an Ada programmer so I can't understand
what it doesn't like about the source.

But my question is more general.  Just this: Has anyone used the CLFS
procedure to create a cross-compiler with an Ada front end?  I'd really
like to discuss how this could best be done with someone.  I've tried
doing this "by hand" for a few months without success.  I got excited
when I saw the CLFS website, and it's been helpful, but the Ada stuff
still brings me to my knees.

I've found nothing in the mail archives. Anyone willing to consult about
this?
