one possible way of making Gnatmake work with either shared or static libraries
The maintainers of GCC in Fedora have split out libgnat.a and libgnarl.a to a
separate subpackage which is by default not installed together with the Gnat
tools. (Fedora has a policy to use only shared libraries as much as possible.)
This causes Gnatmake to crash when it tries to find the directory that contains
libgnat by looking for libgnat.a and the file isn't there.
Could we have Gnatmake improved to also look for libgnat.so if it doesn't find
libgnat.a, so that it can work with only shared libraries installed?
