Bug#493814: Dangling libgnat.so-4.3 links in adalib directory of gnat, no libgnat.so file

[Kay Hayen <kayhayen@gmx.de>]

Package: gnat
Version: 4.3.1-2
Severity: normal


We are compiling software not necessarily with the system default compiler, but
based on PATH. For that purpose we figure out the adalib directory of the used
compiler, and link against libgnat.so from there.

On Debian based compilers (seen on Ubuntu x86 too) as well as Debian amd64 we
find that there is no libgnat.so, indication of the breakage is also the
dangling links:

> ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/rts-native/adalib/libgnat*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16  5. Aug 03:42 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/rts-native/adalib/libgnat-4.3.so -> libgnat-4.3.so.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5625476 14. Jun 12:40 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/rts-native/adalib/libgnat.a

For manually compiled gcc installations there is a libgnat.so in that directory.

Thanks in advance,
Kay Hayen
