I've built an i386 jail and am currently building the
gnat-gcc43 port to compile a GNAT cross-compiler (i386 ->
amd64).

There are two reasons for this whole exercise: I just moved
over to amd64 and want a native toolchain and I also have a
lot of software written in Ada that I'd like to submit to
FreeBSD ports but can't due a lack of an Ada compiler on amd64.

I noticed that the gnat-gcc43 port downloads a rather
anonymous set of gcc 4.1 bootstrap binaries. I assume I'd
have to provide my own in the same manner to create a port?
