That makes sense. I assume you mean a bug in the gcc backend for HPPA. Would it help to find the bug, if I can reduce the GNADE failure to a small test case? It would be in Ada. If this bug is not fixed, I have two choices for GNADE: 1) remove hppa from the list of supported architectures. 2) remove the 'check' target from debian/rules, and hope that user code will not hit the same bug.
