Support for the ADA_LONG_TYPE_SIZE macro has been removed from GCC. This macro was exclusively used for VMS, which is no longer a supported platform for Ada development. The removal simplifies the codebase by eliminating obsolete configurations and definitions across various GCC components, including its Ada front-end.
