I didn't know, interesting, though pretty much useless, I guess. What is
actually needed is libgnat + cross compiler hosted at x86 Linux or Windows.
Did anybody try to setup something like that?

On the second thought, there seem to exist Raspberry Pi Emulators:

Provided the virtual machine memory set to 1-2GB one could try to use the
native ARM compiler there. Did anybody tried that?
