I've been messing around with Ada on my old Mac G4, running OS X
10.4.11, for a long time, using vi, and emacs. My G4 died an I replaced
it with a G5 (love the PPC) running 10.5.8. When I now attempt to
compile, I get
gcc -c -g -IUtilities trimmer.adb
gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory
Poking around, I don't see a newer version of GNAT for 10.5.8. Although
I had good backup (I thought) before the G4 died, file recovery was a
laborious process and I could have made mistakes. (As a matter of fact,
I'm trying to write a little tool to help in checking that recovery.)
Any ideas?

It can't find the assembler. Sounds like you need to install a version of
"binutils" (assembler, linker, archiver and other low level tools the
compiler uses) compatible with the gcc/gnat version you're using.
Sorry I can't help with the details.

You need the Command Line Tools. I don't remember whether they were
available as a separate download at 10.5, or whether they were an
optional part of Xcode, or whether they were automatically installed
with it.

I thought I remembered that "as" was the assembler. What path was it on?
If I know where to look I might yet find it.
Alternatively, how about if I reinstall all the GNAT stuff? I still have
the disk image.

Thanks for your help.

Use
xcode-select --install
(this needs to be done again after you install El Capitan, since apparently that
install removes the command line tools)

Getting the cart before the horse, after posting that question, I tried
it. It had no effect.

As always, I appreciate your taking your time to respond. However, I'm
trunning on a G5, under 10.5.8.

See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1596164/can-i-get-xcode-for-leopard-still/1596185#1596185
I found this by googling "mac leopard command line tools"
But whether it's the PPC version I don't know.
