But seriously, I am curious when you say the necessary code generators
are there.  If GNAT is not presently on Macintosh, how is there a code
generator for 68K (or PowerPC, for that matter, since MacOS seems to be
the only consumer of those chips so far).

If it is not obvious, I have only used commercial compilers.
