John Marino 05a3c66723 Add new port lang/gcc5-aux (next Ada compiler)
This is the initial version of gcc5-aux, which will eventually become the
default Ada compiler.  It's not hooked into Mk/Uses/ada.mk yet, but it
does pass all Ada tests on both DragonFly64 and FreeBSD64.

For FreeBSD 10 amd64, the compiler built fine outside of poudriere but the
bootstrap compiler failed inside of it (seemingly as a result of using
base linker).  Eventually a new bootstrap compiler needs to be made, but
for now gcc5-aux is built with a full bootstrap on FreeBSD.  On DragonFly,
only a single stage is built as the bootstrap compiler still works fine.

Plaintext

The AUX compiler supports several languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran and
Objective-C. Since Ada support must be built by an Ada-capable compiler,
only platforms for which a bootstrap compiler is available can build it.
The AUX compiler is based on release versions of the Free Software
Foundation's GNU Compiler Collection. It uses the GCC Runtime Library
Exception, so the resulting binaries have no licensing requirements.
Binaries produced by the AUX compiler should be legally handled the same
as binaries produced by any FSF compiler.
This compiler implements the full Ada-83, Ada-95, Ada-2005 and Ada-2012
standards.
