Wait, do the FSF GNAT repositories themselves now contain the mods for LLVM=
 instead of obtaining GNAT-LLVM mods from https://github.com/AdaCore/gnat-l=
lvm, which is pure-GPLv3 licensed.

https://github.com/AdaCore/gnat-llvm/blob/master/COPYING3

If mixing FSF GNAT with any 1 or more non-data/non-script (i.e., compiled; =
linked) source file(s) in https://github.com/AdaCore/gnat-llvm, then RLE ev=
aporates because that 1 or more source file lacks the RLE; hence FSF GNAT-L=
LVM would become pure GPLv3.
