No, gcc-3.4 is named gcc-${GCC_VERSION}. It installs in gcc-${PKGNAME_NOREV}

The gcc Ada compiler is unique in that a gcc Ada compiler is required to bu=
ild=20
it. Both gccAda-3.4 and gcc-3.4 (optionally) provide Ada. Having two allows=
=20
one to be used building the other.

As a binary package for ix86, gcc-3.4.0.tgz is 87.2M while gccAda-3.4.0.tgz=
 is=20
22.1M.

The name gccAda-3.4 was an attempt at a name that would play better with th=
e=20
package management tools. I'm happy to change it.
