Yes, building old versions of Emacs with the newer development tools and libc is problematic, due to changes in those tools that are never retrofitted into old Emacs releases. Doesn't your distro provide older versions of Emacs that you could just install? > I also tried to compile the sepparate ada-mode version 8.0, eventually > succeeded once but failed to install on emacs 29.3.

However, you should be able to download it from there and use it with Emacs 29.3 you have. Adding Stephen to this discussion, in case you have problems with that and need further help.

As emacs (29.3) does not have ada-mode anymore, I tried to compile an earlier emacs. I downloaded emacs archives from v24 to v27, said: ./configure --with-x-toolkit=no --with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no --with-gnutls=no worked.. make failed with compilation errors, at each version.

The resulting ada-mode directory is almost half a gigabyte! Can you restore the old ada mode in emacs? Even if it doesn't do very advanced things, even if it doesn't know ada 2022?
