Try to clarify which compilers can be used for the

build.

   <li><p>The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++.
       The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to
-      build it.  What is more, the Ada compiler must not be more recent
-      than what it is trying to compile, otherwise the build will fail.
-      This rules out gcc-4.3 (but not gcc-4.2) and also the

       Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all
       three languages (the Ada part often comes as an add-on package to
       the rest of gcc).  Otherwise it is possible to combine two versions
