In addition, just because there is a GCC for a machine does not mean there
is a GNAT automatically. Paritcularly in the case of VMS, with its unusual
structure of directory names, there is some special tailoring of the GNAT
system interface code. Also tasking does not pop out free. Bevin is quite
right, making a version of GNAT that is a fully functional susbtitute for
current Dec Ada compilers is not zero work!
