Yes, but even though I'm using an unusual system, I'm very likely to
compile available sources.

Would it be a surprise if I say that the computer on which I use 
NetBSD-m68k is an Amiga :-) I know that I could get GNAT for AmigaDOS
(at least an old version), but since AmigaDOS is not Posix-compliant,
and if even though an extension tries to make it Posix-compliant, the
gcc and GNAT-ports are IMHO not very ideal.
