First of all, big thanks for your efforts!

What happened here? What went wrong? I don't expect any miracles here,
esp. with no upstream help, but this can't be good, can it?  :-(

The only "obvious" change I can find is this, and surely that didn't
break it??

"
Ada:
The command-line option -feliminate-unused-debug-types has been re-
enabled by default, as it is for the other languages, leading to a
reduction in debug info size of 12.5% and more for relevant cases, as
well as to a small compilation speedup.

Or this page, even.     ;-)

Which will ... never mind, forgot I already accidentally checked the
ZIP Picker, it already has 4.7.0 offered. Wouldn't 4.6.3 be a safer
choice since Ada isn't available? (Though admittedly that's less
interesting to most C/C++ people.) Ah, well, I guess it doesn't matter
(and I never learned Ada, sadly, only subsets of other Wirth-ian
languages).
