With regard to merged gcc, I think we need to test how the spell works
and merge it asap. I think it is the only sane way to keep Ada
bootstrappable. GCC version shouldn't be the focus of concern. If 4.6 is
not working for many spells as Treeve tested out, we can downgrade the
version in merged gcc to 4.5.3, or 4.4.6. These releases are also new,
even newer than 4.6.0.

Regard,
Charles
