gcc-aux is the successor to the gcc-4.6-based lang/gnat-aux. Originally it
was planned for lang/gnat-aux to upgrade to version 4.7, then 4.8, etc.
However, some cross-compilers are based on it and there are some significant
differences between gcc 4.6 and 4.7. lang/gnat-aux also installs with a
${LOCALBASE} of /usr/local which has a high potential of file conflicts with
other lang/ compilers. Another reason for keeping them separate is just about
every Ada program will need to be patched for it due to new binding
interpretations stemming from Ada-2012 work. Simply updating gnat-aux would
break them all instantly.
The AUX compiler supports several languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran and
Objective-C. Since Ada support must be built by an Ada-capable compiler, only
platforms for which a bootstrap compiler is available can build the AUX
compiler.
