 Installing gnat-gcc +gnuada ends with

 {{{
 configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 }}}

 I believe it was your intention that I should download "the GnuAda
 compiler" from http://gnuada.sourceforge.net and install it prior to
 attempting to install the port with this variant. But I'm unclear
 specifically what file to download.

 The port should detect if the required compiler is not installed, and exit
 with a more helpful error message telling the user what to do to fix it.

 In addition, I assume the bootprefix change from r55182 needs to be
 reverted. If that's right, then it may be of benefit to add a comment to
 the portfile explaining why hardcoding /opt/local is necessary here (since
 it's usually undesirable, and someone might not realize it was intentional
 and replace it with ${prefix} again).
