IMHO "gnattools" should be added to "ADA_DIRS" in "gcc_release" to generate snapshots properly. Otherwise, people who do not download and install "gcc-ada" tarballs will get a bootstrap error.
I verified that if I download the gcc-core snapshot and try a bootstrap, I get a failure building gnattools. This failure goes away if gnattools is moved from gcc-core to gcc-ada.
I tested your patch by hand crafting a release source tree, and then running "gcc_release -r 4.1 tarfiles". All this does is build the tarfiles. It doesn't touch the cvs repository or the ftp site. I did this with and without your patch, and verified that the only change was that gnattools moved from the gcc-core file to the gcc-ada file. I believe this testing is sufficient.
I checked in the patch.
I have attached the patch I checked in, so it would get archived in the gcc-patches list.
