Subject: Porting GNAT to Debian Hurd

Has anybody successfully ported GNAT to any strange platforms?
I would dearly like to port GNAT to the Hurd, and am considering
undertaking it as a project. Hurd already has gcc 2.9.5 and work is
underway to finalize gcc 3.0, but GNAT has not yet been ported.
How easily does GNAT build from source? Does it rely much on
OS specific calls? I understand that the Gnat.OS package may be
tricky, but what about in general?
Hurd, a somewhat "bleeding-edge" operating system could probably
benefit from having some particularly pesky apps rewritten in Ada,
although thick bindings to mach.h, and /include/hurd seems to be
a particularly formidable task.
I wish I could rewrite gnuMach in Ada. Oh well, $h!t in one hand and
wish in the other and see which fills up quicker. :-)
Regards,
- Doug
