If moving files, I'd encourage moving the sources built from the libada/ and gnattools/ toplevel directories to be physically located in those directories (or subdirectories of them) as far as possible, as one step in the rearrangement. I don't however know how much dependence there might be between these sources and the compiler sources that would make such a move difficult. Also note that, as described in gcc/doc/sourcebuild.texi, having gcc/ada/Makefile.in is deprecated, so I hope the rearrangement will eventually make it possible to eliminate this deprecated file (the only language remaining with its own Makefile.in). In any case, files should be moved with "svn mv" so that the history is properly maintained. -- Joseph S. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
