GNAT 3.14p and GNAT in GCC 3.2 are not ABI compatible. GNAT in GCC 3.2 is not complete, ASIS and GLADE are missing. GNAT in GCC 3.2 has bugs which prevents it from compiling other packages which are in Debian (e.g. the currently packaged version of GtkAda). I don't think packaging libraries for GNAT in GCC 3.2 is worth the trouble. Developers who want to use GCC 3 technology should upgrade to GCC 3.3, which contains an updated version of GNAT, and I've read reports that this version is more close to being usable than previous GCC 3 versions (but still no comparison to GNAT 3.14p). There is no indication on the timeframe in which GCC 3 GNAT will be complete (ASIS, GLADE and Florist support), GDB support will arrive in the GDB CVS, and the many open bugs in the GCC BTS will be even looked at by the maintainers.
