The problems are with the corresponding Ada tools, not with the compiler 
 per se. And that is not very surprising as there was quite low 
attention on the Ada part during the last year of gcc development.

That's the point. Eric and I intended to include AVR-Ada in the next 
WinAVR release. That won't be possible if I don't manage to build a 
fully functioning Ada compiler with the necessary tool set on Windows.
