  Only a a couple of words :-), the idea behind GCC is a portable compiler
 with the only need to change the front-end to incorporate a new language
 and the back-end to add a new architecture so I think you could use the 
 GNAT front-end and you could make a Mac back-end, about this last I have
 only heard about a language to describe it something similar to lex/yacc.

 My 0.02$, raul.
