And to round things out, I believe that Harris/Concurrent started from
the old Verdix front end to produce their Ada 95 compiler.  So essentially
all of the old Ada 83 front ends live on, though many have moved to
different companies in a kind of musical chairs.
(Irvine compiler is still alive as well, though they haven't validated
a full Ada 95 compiler yet, as far as I know.)
