Does anybody have any information on Ada compiler systems targeted for
common microprocessors (i.e., 68k, 86, 16k,...).  I know that Telesoft
has available a partial implementation for 68k/UNIX systems, and that
Softech is working on an 8086/iRMX86 implementation.

I am trying to locate all efforts that are targeted for relatively small
and efficient REAL-TIME run-time executives (preferably for those execs
that I can get my hands on the source code).  I have no desire to tear
into an Ada compiler, but would sure like to experiment with the underlying
run-time system.  Partial implementations are also of interest as long
as they have most of the tasking model (inc. task types), generics, and
dynamic allocators implemented.

Any information, suggestions, and/or comments on the above would be
appreciated.

P.S.  Is anybody interested in opening up debates on interesting ada
features?  We could start with the tasking model: one_way naming,
synchronous operation only, inability to mix accepts and entry calls
in a select statement, etc.; or generics; or run-time environment
interfaces...
