I built the Alpha Linux/x86 GNAT cross compiler over two years ago.
The sources (3.11p(?)) compiled with a few relatively simple modifications.
The compiled code would operate OK in very simple cases. More complex
code would crash somewhere in the runtime (IIRC).
Unfortunately, I never investigated the crashes, because I left the company
which was wanting the work.
My current project would benefit by using a 64-bit architecture, since the
32-bit GNAT versions have issues with large records (>256MB), and my
Ada code is also hitting the memory limits on 32-bit. If someone
does do a port, I'm interested to hear about it.
I would like to offer my help in the project, but I don't have any Alpha
hardware at the moment (because it doesn't support Ada...), and I am a
bit hazy on what the hacks were to get it to compile.
