I had one gnat located at $HOME/programs/gcc-463, but now when I have
those .deb packages available, I can use /usr/bin/(gnat)gcc. The compiler
at $HOME/programs/gcc-463 is build using the compiler, which I told
in my previous message:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ada/2012/04/msg00027.html
So, in total I build gnat 4 times:
1) gnat cross compiler for Debian armhf,
build&running on Fedora x86_64
2) gnat compiler for Debian armhf,
build on Fedora x86_64 (using compiler 1),
running on Debian armhf
3) gnat compiler for Debian armhf,
build on Debian armhf (using compiler 2),
running on Debian armhf,
on real ARM hardware (Gumstix Overo, 256MB memory)
4) gnat compiler for Debian armhf,
using dpkg-buildpackage and Debian build scripts
on real ARM hardware (Gumstix Overo, 256MB memory)

I think only one change is actually relevant:

# Ada --------------------

ada_no_systems :=

I also disabled 'make check' phase since my ARM device didn't have
enough memory (256MB RAM + 200MB swap was not enough) for the tests.

Full patch attached. I think there might be quite many unnecessary parts.

No problem. I had the armhf hardware and I needed GNAT, so this was
quite useful for myself also.
