The following patches are needed in order to build GNAT with EGCS.

These patches were tested with egcs-980308 and gnat-3.10p on a mips-sgi-irix6.3
system.  The gnat build succeeded as per the instructions in the gnat
README.BUILD file for building one library, except that CFLAGS="-O -g" and
GNATLIBCFLAGS="-O -g" were substituted for the recommended "-O2" so that the
build could be debugged.  There was no attempt to run the resulting build
against any testsuite or validation suite.

Developers Notes:

Every use of sizetype in the Ada front end should be checked to see if perhaps
it should be using bitsizetype instead.  The change to maybe_pad_type is just
a hack to work around this problem, and may not be desirable in the long term.

There are many places in the Ada front end where it calls operand_equal_p to
see if two type sizes are the same.  operand_equal_p fails if the two
arguments have different TYPE_MODEs.  sizetype and bitsizetype can have
different TYPE_MODEs.  Thus this code can fail if one type size is based
on sizetype, and the other is based on bitsizetype.  The change to
maybe_pad_type fixes one very critical place where this happens.  There may
be others.

	* a-gtran3.c (maybe_pad_type): Convert both size and orig_size to
	sizetype if they have differing modes.
	* a-misc.c (gnat_tree_code_type): Change from string to char array.
	(init_lex): Delete realloc calls for tree_code_* globals.  Adjust
	bcopy call for gnat_tree_code_type change.
	* a-tree.def: Adjust for tree_code_* type changes.

	* a-misc.c (init_lex): Rename to init_parse.

This patch from Fred Fish to GNAT may make building simpler.  We haven't
tested it.

> I put a very short blurb in the faq.  GNAT is complicated enough that
> we should probably write a whole page on how to build/install it.

You may want to use some or all of these patches:

	* Make-lang.in (gnattools): Depends upon GCC_PARTS.
	(ada.start.encap): Depends upon gnattools.
	(ada.rest.encap): Depends upon gnatlib.
	* Makefile.in (../stamp-gnatlib1): Since we are still in the rts
	subdir when the rule runs, we need to touch ../../stamp-gnatlib1.
	(../stamp-gnatlib1): Don't unconditionally remove the rts directory,
	create it if one does not exist.
	(gnatlib): Remove superflous leading blank char at *-*-pe line.
	* a-init.c: Define NULL if not yet defined.
