Thanks. I suppose I should try to build a cross-compiler, so
I can compile for Win32 and MacOS as well as for Linux and
Tru64.

The MinGW documentation you pointed to seemed to be based on
GCC 2.95, which is too bug-ridden to use for compiling Ada
programs. Would it be possible simply to build GCC 3.1 as a
Linux hosted Win32 targeting cross-compiler? Or are some
special tricks needed to make it work?

Thanks. And yes. I have updated the documentation on the web
page, so it reflects the longer names and the slightly
changed syntax.

Yes, but both the documentation and the help message is
misleading. I have fixed the documentation, and I will
publish fixed source packages ASAP.

Play well,
