My understanting is that Ada Core Technologies does plan to update the Ada front-end for tree-ssa. However, as for any other company, their priorities are set by their customers, so it is not known just when they will find the time to do the update. This is a large change to the Ada front-end. As a prerequisite, it must support function-at-a-time compiling. The tree-ssa branch has been merged into the main line, and the announcement [1] says that this broke the Ada and Fortran 77 front-ends. This was foreseen, as evidenced by the various emails that I reproduce in the Ada policy for Debian [2]. (BTW, I need to update that document).
