GNAT is included in Debian in every architecture that it has been ported to - i.e. we currently support i386, SPARC, and PowerPC(?). The GNAT maintainer is in fact working from a SPARC machine. One of the Alpha guys has volunteered to port GNAT to Alpha/Linux when he gets boxes running DEC Alpha in Janurary. We're more than willing to include GNAT on any architecture that it will build on. -- David Starner - dvdeug@hushmail.com (dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org off vacation)
