	I too have been suprised at the cost of 80x86 cross compilers.  While
it is true you can get IBM PC Ada compilers for <$500 (see Meridian) 80x86
cross compilers seem to be in the $20,000 range even if the host is a IBM
PC (I have seen some at $30,000).  I realise their is less demand for cross
compilers and more work involved in the Ada runtime environment, but this
price difference seems ridicules (We purchased the Alsys one ~$20,000).
