So I've finally managed to get ada-mode installed and working with GNAT CE =
2020.  For the record here's what I did (in case it's useful to others):-

1. Cloned git repositories gnatcoll-db and gnatcoll-bindings from github.co=
m/AdaCore/, checked out branch "20-sustained" in both repositories then bui=
lt and installed gnatcoll_iconv (in gnatcoll-bindings), and gnatcoll_xref, =
gnatcoll_sql, gnatcoll_sqlite (in gnatcoll-db).

2. In ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-7.1.4/ ran ./build.sh, which failed with an =
error message about file sal-gen_unbounded_definite_red_black_trees.adb.  S=
o went to that file in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/wisi-3.1.3/, read the comments tagge=
d with "WORKAROUND" and deleted the appropriate ".all" components.  Reran .=
/build.sh which completed successfully and then ran ./install.sh, also succ=
essful.

3. Opened an Ada file and watched Emacs complain about a void-function call=
ed wisi--lexer-error.  Enabled the Emacs debugger and looked in the traceba=
ck.  Message seems to be coming from compiled byte-code, so I deleted all .=
elc files in the wisi-3.1.3 directory and tried again.  Now I get a message=
 saying ada_mode_wisi_lr1_parse cannot be found on exec-path, so I go look =
for it and end up adding the GNAT CE 2020 bin path to exec-path in my Emacs=
 setup and now finally it's working!  Phew.

I have one question: was my original problem a bug in the ada-mode code or =
is it a bug in the latest GNAT compiler?  (GCC 11.1.0)

Thanks,
Paul
