YDL-2.3 comes with gcc-2.95.4 which doesn't offer gnat (I think the
ADA-compiler came with more recent versions of the gcc-package, 3.x or
3.2.x).

I think you will have to install current versions of binutils/gcc/glibc
from source, first ..
For glibc: At least Redhat's packagers think that gcc-3.2.2 requires a
header "pthread.h" from glibc-devel *younger* than 2.2.90-12, YDL has
glibc and friends version 2.2.5.  I compiled and installed gcc3.2.2 from
source with the old glibc-2.2.5-headers and everything seems to be fine
(well (beside autoconf,-make,-header, binutils) makeinfo is too dated,
too, so gcc-3.2.2-docs weren't build). I didn't compile the
ADA-compile, because I don't need that compiler right now.
