missing libgnat-GPL2005.a

Hi Karel,

while resurrecting textproc/xmlada, I've encountered one rather stupid
problem I can't find a reasonable solution for. In the last phase of
building libxmlada_unicode.so.2.0.1, I end up with the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgnat-GPL2005
gnatmake: gcc execution error

It looks like gnatmake from lang/gnat (GNAT/GPL 2005) is seriously
missing libgnat-GPL2005.a (note that gnat-GPL2005 is never mentioned
in the project files, so it must be a kind of implicit dependency).
If I make a copy of libgnat.so to libgnat-GPL2005.a in
/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.2/3.4.5/adalib,
it passes successfuly. However, any other workaround (including
copying the libgnat-GPL2005.a to ${working_dir} and using
-largs -L${working_dir} or modifying the project files) didn't
work and it looks like gnatmake is just ignoring these options
for some reason (maybe because it is building a shared library?).

Do you have idea for any other workaround except for modifying
the lang/gnat so that it creates libgnat-GPL2005.a in
/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.2/3.4.5/adalib?
If no, would it be possible to modify the port so that it
creates the libgnat-GPL2005.a?

BTW, lang/gnat-gcc41 is just fine here and compiles and builds
the xmlada cleanly.

Thanks,
Petr
