I meant specifically native GNAT for Raspberry PI.

GNAT Ada 2005 targeted to some ARM Linux/VxWorks hosted on x86 would be
just fine.
Still having target and host of same architecture is a great advantage. If
Intel and/or AMD took embedded/mobile seriously, and it seems that they are
slowly waking up, they could easily trump ARM.
