Now that I have GNAT 1.82 for Linux, I am going to attempt to build GNAT 1.82 for
the RS/6000. Is there anyone out there who can give me tips on this? Most
importantly, can 1.79 build 1.82? There is a 1.79 port at cs.nyu.edu. If not,
I will have to cross-compile from Linux. I am hoping that someone who has done
this can warn me about what I will run into. Thanks.

1.79 can definitely NOT build 1.82
In general at the moment we only guarantee that you can build N+1 from N,
and even then there can be some difficult cases (in particular building
1.81 from 1.80 is tricky, the readme has full details but they are tricky
to follow -- some have succeeded, but some have had trouble).
There are two reasons for bootstrap path problems of this type. First we
are using more features as we go along and as they are available to us.
Second runtime library incojmpatibilties cause trouble (we are trying to
work out an approach to minimize the second problem)
