"I see that the currently available version of GNAT is intended for Pentium
systems only.
Is anybody working on a version for 486's? There can't be too many things
within GNAT (or GCC) that would necessitate a Pentium rather then a 486.
Actually, I'd prefer an Alpha AXP version, but I would guess that is
really a problem with getting a GCC port first.
Where did you get the idea that the current version of GNAT is only for
the Pentium. This is nonsense, it is a 386/486/Pentium port (remember
that these architectures are equivalent at the user level, modulo Pentium's
well publicized incapability of guarateeing correct division results).
Indeed there has been some discussion of a version that would compensate
for the Pentium deficiencies, but we have not done anything with this yet
(though we know how).
There already is a version for Alpha AXP.
