Hi,

My earlier patch that formally desclared pretty_printer as polymorphic
uncovered a latent bug in the existing build machinery of the Ada
component.  It had been using xgcc to link against C++ source files.  It
should use xg++ instead.

This patch fixes that by introducing GXX_LINK which is GCC_LINK except
that CXX (e.g. xg++) instead of CC (e.g. xgcc) is invoked.

Eric, are there other executables that need to be linked with GXX_LINK
too but aren't triggered yet? 

Thanks,

-- Gaby

	* gcc-interface/Makefile.in (GXX_LINK): New.  Same as GCC_LINK but
	with xgcc replaced with xgcc.
	(common-tools): Use it.
	(../../gnatmake$(exeext)): Likewise.
	(../../gnatlink$(exeext)): Likewise.

It would be good to have this patch approved and committed: right now,
Ada bootstrap is broken without it.

Yes, all not covered executables linking with TOOLS_LIBS since it contains 
libcommon.a which now drags the C++ library.  So the simplest solution is to 
change GCC_LINK (there is one potential problematic case, vxaddr2line, but it 
probably didn't link before so let's forget it for now).

I'll attach a patch to the PR so that the Darwin folks can test it.

Thank you; that is very much appreciated.

yes, indeed, thanks Eric,
It seems the patch needs a couple of minor amendments to work with Darwin - and I've added an updated version to the PR which passes bootstrap and make check-ada on x86_64-darwin12.
