GCC versions by default use different runtime libraries, making them
incompatible to the rest of the system at the very least. Just because
you decided to hack the Ada support into gcc.mk in a way that can't be
isolated doesn't mean it is correct. Of course, Fortran support suffers
from the same problem...
