This is plain gcc/gnat as shipped on Ubuntu 11.04. It may be
that the idea is that since this is not necessary for backtracing,
it's not crucial, and then one is expected to install some -dev
or -dbg package to be able to fully debug Ada? But then again,
I've installed all gnat related -dev and -dbg packagets I could
find now, and I still get catchpoints unsupported. What library
is supposed to have these symbols?

Alright, I've checked it in now. Thanks!
