Yes, I see you used the new bug to block the bug for the transition of
Perl.  Nevertheless, if you would have googled for "gengtype: Internal
error: abort in get_output_file_with_visibility, at gengtype.c:1998" you
would have found #637236, which you could have used just as well to
block the transition bug.

- Because gnat-4.6/kfreebsd-amd64 has just been uploaded by some kind
  soul.
- Because the bug only happens on buildds and intermittently, as
  documented in #637236.
