A switch to use newer GMP version has been committed.

I'm still investigating lang/gnat-gcc44.

As far as I know, the gnat-gcc44 bootstrap binaries will be
fine as they're bundled with the libgmp library that was used
to build them. Whether gcc builds with the newer libgmp remains
to be seen...

As discussed in the QAT emails, it might be related to ccache use
on the build cluster graciously donated by ixSystems, and the fact
that the cached data is inconsistently distributed across the cluster.

ATM no, the new cluster is in works, not yet used, QAT is running on a
single machine, with ccache.

I've provided some tips for itetcu to work around this on IRC
(basically disable ccache), but it kind of sucks when you run into
periodic issues with toolchain variance like this, s.t. building with
NO_CACHE=yes is a necessary evil to work through end-to-end build
functional issues.

Problem is I need an automated solution.
I'm testing it now on QAT with ccache disabled.

Someone else who knows more about ccache could provide a better
explanation of what's going on because my ranting about this would
only be me talking out of my rear :).

Yes, please.

Thanks.
