>Description:
When lang/gnat-aux was updated to gcc 4.6.4, gprbuild-aux stopped building due to an incompatibility with its internal sources and the newer gcc sources.
devel/gprbuild-aux was already superceded by devel/gprbuild. It is no longer a dependency for any port.
The original plan was to deprecate devel/gprbuild-aux for six months. However, fixing it is not trivial so I recommend that the port be removed now.
It could be marked broken, but as the maintainer I am pretty sure it will never be fixed. :)
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Remove devel/gprbuild-aux permanently.
