Agreed. Just two observations:
1) In ada-acats.diff the gcc version should be gcc-5 not gcc-6:
-+echo exec /usr/bin/gnatchop --GCC=gcc-6 '$*' >> host_gnatchop
++echo exec /usr/bin/gnatchop --GCC=gcc-5 '$*' >> host_gnatchop
2) Why do the compiler driver call gcc instead of gcc-<version>?
(This is probably here the ada-gcc-name.diff comes into play)
