Why is that a dealbreaker? The title question is "Current status of Ada development for an Android tar= get". Since there's no host machine specification, the answer is, "it's be= en complete and maintained for many years". What difference does the host machine for a cross-compiler when the executa= ble is the product? Run GnatDroid in a FreeBSD VM to compile the executabl= e, problem solved. You just need FreeBSD running long enough to compile th= e program/library which you then transfer to Android, unless I'm missing so= mething. Summary: you already have everything you want except your choice of host ma= chines, which shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
