+@subheading Building GCC with Ada Support
+
+If you want a GCC toolset that includes support for Ada
+(e.g. GNAT), there are some additional requirements on
+the host environment and additional build steps to perform.
+It is critical that you use the same version of GCC/GNAT as
+the native compiler.  GNAT must be compiled with an Ada compiler
+and when building a GNAT cross-compiler, it should be 
+the same version of GNAT itself. 
+
+The build procedure is the same until the configure step. 
+A GCC toolset with GNAT enabled requires that @code{ada}
+be included in the set of enabled languages.
+The following example illustrates the invocation of
+@code{configure} and @code{make}
+to build and install @value{GCCUNTAR} with only
+C, C++, and Ada support for the sparc-rtems target:
