Do you have some numbers? I understand that besides
GNAT, both ICC and Rational Apex (Atego) support Ada 2005
and there are some supported compilers for Ada 95+, from others.

And, of course, what does the number 1 mean?
There aren't that many different C compilers
in use in the embedded market AFAICT. There is just
one C# compiler AFAIK. In comparison, then,
having just a few Ada compilers seems quite enough.

IIRC, programs for VxWorks don't even need an Ada
runtime to provide tasking support. Systems like these
provide an opportunity for another profile, one that
should make upgrading compilers easier.
