It's Ada (the first name of Lady Lovelace), not ADA (an acronym for various 
organizations), see e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

What does not work with the current system is to have the same triplet that 
either defaults to -m32 or to -m64 depending on the --with-cpu option.

Under PR ada/97504, Martin and Richard explained that the SuSE system compiler 
defaults to -m32 for historical reason, so I adjusted the Ada configuration 
accordingly.  Now Andreas says the opposite, i.e. that the system compiler 
defaults to -m64.  The two assertions cannot possibly be true at the time.

No problem with that, as long as the default is clearly set.
