Just wanted to touch base again. Is this something that I can generate a
ticket for (I will if so) or is it too constrained to a particular setup?
I can't test on mac or linux to see if there are any impacs, so I this
might be a concern.
As far as I know there aren't a lot of available windows 64 bit
configurations that allow for the building of Gnoga. mingw64 is the only
one I got to work and I had to really man handle gprbuild to get it to work.
