Right, definitely not an option. In particular since there are potentially many other files that will be different between configurations. Ada currently does not have built-in support for multilibs (there's a related PR I believe). Instead, it has another (similar but different) mechanism via the --RTS make/compile/bind switch, which require manual build/install of several gnatlib via calls to make -C gcc gnatlib with appropriate options. For instance to build a 64 bit run time with a 32 bits Solaris compiler: make -C gcc THREAD_KIND=m64 GNATLIBCFLAGS="-O2 -m64" gnatlib Connecting this capability with the multilib mechanism would be nice although nobody has done it so far (for either lack of interest or lack of knowledge of the gcc makefiles), and there are non trivial issues since there are some run-times that are supported by the Ada compiler (e.g. pthread run-time on Solaris, the gnatlib-sjlj and gnatlib-zcx targets) that have no corresponding multilib configuration, and vice-versa. Combining all the possibilities would simply create an explosion of run-time, which is also not desirable. Arno
