<li><p>The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++.
The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to
- build it. Appropriate Ada compilers are gcc-4.2 (or earlier) or the
- <a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2006 GNAT GPL Edition</a>
- (or earlier). As a general rule, the Ada compiler used for the
- build must not be more recent than the Ada compiler it is building.
- This is why the build fails with gcc-4.3 and the 2007 GNAT GPL Edition.

The LLVM parts of llvm-gcc are written in C++ so a C++ compiler is
needed to build them. The rest of gcc is written in C.
Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all
three languages (the Ada part often comes as an add-on package to
the rest of gcc). Otherwise it is possible to combine two versions
of gcc, one that supports Ada and C (such as the
- <a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2006 GNAT GPL Edition</a>)
+ <a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2007 GNAT GPL Edition</a>)
and another which supports C++, see below.</p></li>
