The hole 3.3.x series of GCC/GNAT combo is buggy. Either use GNAT a based on
GCC 2.8.x or one based in GCC 3.4.x. If you have Linux you should consider
compiling you own compiler.

The best for Ada is GPS. Actually GPS is also good for small C and C++
projects where all that automake stuff is not needed.

You can either download GPS 1.4 or compile a 2.x version yourself. 

For download see:

http://libre.act-europe.fr/

For DIY compiles see:

http://www.ada.krischik.com

Hint: Start with the download - even when they are quite old. They are
stable and don't make any problems.

With Regards

Martin
