I use Ada and I will  do what I can to  build Ada for 10.2.

I have done all of my builds in the past as Windows-native builds, and will continue to do so with 10.2, but I do have Linux computers that I can use.

I will need to duplicate your Linux build system and will need information from you to do that.

Subject: [MinGW-Users] GCC-10: Need help to provide continuing support for Ada

I've been providing the MinGW builds of GCC, since GCC-4.8.5.  The last release, which I have provided, is GCC-9.2.0; this week, I have begun to explore the feasibility of providing a GCC-10.2.0 release.

Many of you will already know that I build these releases by use of a Linux-hosted cross-compiler, which I build myself, from the same sources as I ultimately use for the crossed-native Windows release.  In the case of GCC-10.2.0, I have successfully completed a cross-compiler build, but to do so, I have found it necessary to drop support for Ada.

In fact, with every GCC release on which I have worked, the upstream maintainers have introduced a new crop of gratuitous breakages within the Ada component.  Unless I can successfully build an Ada-capable cross-compiler, I cannot produce a crossed-native Ada-capable build; however, I have no personal interest in Ada, and I am no longer willing to invest my time, and effort, into chasing down the upstream Ada bugs.
Therefore, unless someone else steps up to the challenge, to assist in the debugging effort, GCC-9.2.0 will be the last MinGW release which will include support for Ada.

Keith.
