Ada crosscompiler for a Intel 386 target

Ada crosscompiler for a Intel 386 target

[Paul Grabow]

We are looking for a crosscompiler (including an Ada development
environment) that can create an executable for an Intel 386 processor.
It would be nice if the crosscompiler could run under UNIX (or Linux)
on a 386/486. Sun would be okay, too.

At this point we have little idea about the cost of the crosscompiler.
(We have little money.)  It would be used for a master's project that
is not funded with external money.

Thanks.

THis is a little confusing because the target environment is not clear
(bear board, DOS, Linux ?....)

But it is worth pointing out that it is quite practical to build versions
of GNAT that cross-compile from any host supporting GCC to any target
supporting GCC (that's quite a lot of possible cross-compilers, well into
the tens of thousands :-)

THe only trick is tasking, depending on whether the target environment
is Posix-threads compliant, you may have to do a fair amount of fiddling
to get tasking working.
