Can I reinforce that building GHDL is a real pain? I wasted a good day trying 
to build it from source, and eventually just installed the binaries tarball 
(which work perfectly okay, it has to be said).

If you're on Fedora Core 4, there are RPMs available (use yum)... this is the 
only way I managed to get it to work on my x86-64 system.
