What else you expect when GTK and Python are used? GTK is practically
impossible to bootstrap. Python is full of bugs and incompatibilities.
On top of that for some mysterious reason AdaCore decided to use config
scripts. No wonder it is a nightmare anywhere outside Linux.
If you think that commercial code delivered in sources is any better,
you are wrong. Building from sources working out of the box is a rare
exception. Most vendors simply check out the code from the repository
and send it to you. They have no resources or desire to supply you with
a working toolchain tailored for your targets, nor have they necessary
knowledge anyway.
