               The Debian GNU Compiler Collection setup
               ========================================

Please see the README.Debian in /usr/share/doc/gcc, contained in the
gcc package for a description of the setup of the different compiler
versions.

For general discussion about the Debian toolchain (GCC, glibc, binutils)
please use the mailing list debian-toolchain@lists.debian.org; for GCC
specific things, please use debian-gcc@lists.debian.org.  When in doubt
use the debian-toolchain ML.

  affected packages.  Third party code using such code will need a rebuild.

ada-arm:

ada-hurd:

ada-kfreebsd:
  add support for GNU/kFreeBSD.

ada-revert-pr63225:
  Revert the changes made to allow bootstrapping with -fno-inline.
  We allow inlining during bootstrap and this change breaks aliversion compatibility
  with earlier uploads of libgnatvsn5.  This patch shall be removed in the next
  major version of GNAT.

ada-driver-check:
  Simplify Ada driver check (we always build using the required
  Ada version. Needed for warnings on alpha.

ada-gcc-name:
  use gcc-5 instead of gcc as the command name.

ada-default-project-path:
  - Change the default search path for project files to the one specified
  by the Debian Policy for Ada: /usr/share/ada/adainclude.

ada-library-project-files-soname:
  - in project files, use the exact Library_Version provided, if any, as
  the soname of libraries; do not strip minor version numbers
  (PR ada/40025).

ada-link-lib:
  - Install the shared Ada libraries as '.so.1', not '.so' to conform
  to the Debian policy.
  - Don't include a runtime link path (-rpath), when linking binaries.
  - Build the shared libraries on hppa-linux.
  - Instead of building libada as a target library only, build it as
  both a host and, if different, target library.
  - Build the GNAT tools in their top-level directory; do not use
  recursive makefiles.
  - Link the GNAT tools dynamically.

ada-libgnatvsn:
  - Introduce a new shared library named libgnatvsn, containing
  common components of GNAT under the GNAT-Modified GPL, for
  use in GNAT tools, ASIS, GLADE and GPS.   Link the gnat tools
  against this new library.

ada-libgnatprj:
  - Introduce a new shared library named libgnatprj, containing
  the GNAT project file manager licensed under the pure GPL, for
  use in GNAT tools, GLADE and GPS.  Link the GNAT tools against
  this new library.

ada-gnattools-cross:
  - When building the native gnat, link the gnat tools against
  the build tree (build/$(host_alias)/{libgnatvsn,libgnatprj}.)
  - When building a cross gnat, link against the libgnatvsn-5-dev
  and libgnatprj-5-dev packages.
  This link will be done by /usr/bin/$(host_alias)-gnat*, thus
  the native gnat with the same major version will be required.

ada-acats:
  - When running the ACATS, look for the gnat tools in their new
  directory (build/gnattools), and for the shared libraries in
  build/gcc/ada/rts, build/libgnatvsn and build/libgnatprj.

libgnatprj-cross-hack:
