Hi, our spam filter doesn't like your "antispam email" again...
Right. I meant f27. But 26 is affected as well and we cannot rebuild
gnatcoll and gprbuild at least in case if it's needed.
And I found another problem last week. While GCC changed versioning to
major only (libgnat-7 instead of libgnat-7.1) ALI files are marked as obsolete
after update to 7.1 in F26/rawhide and I had to rebuild all packages manualy with
buildroot overrides and stuff.
Ali contains:
"GNAT Lib v7"
So it should be fine at first glance..

Not yet. I've not reproduced the bug with upstream compiler (without d/s
patches).
Package mantainer should raise the bug upstream in such cases but seems
like it's not the case :(

So far only gprbuild and gnatcoll are affected (as they very connected with
low-level gnat I think).
