[Buildroot] Enable gcc ADA support on latest LTS Buildroot

[Matteo Pampolini]

Hello Thomas,

many thanks for your quick answer, please find attached 2 logs obtained
with Buildroot 2020.02.6 setting gcc options to --enable-languages="ada",
one refers to gcc 8.x and the other one to gcc 9.x, they both fail. Build
system is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS with GNAT installed.

Regards,

Matteo
