Some very capable people have now started developing a gcc version in
the open, including frequent snapshots (see http://www.cygnus.com/egcs).
They don't appear to have anyobdy for the Ada frontend yet, though,
probably because not very many people outside of ACT have hacked
on GNAT, and not very many people in the free software community
seem to use Ada, compared to C and C++.
[Actually, this is quite a pity. I'd like to rewrite a small piece of
Unix standard software I've contributed to the free systems in Ada, but
I'm more or less forced to continue to use C because the state of UNIX
bindings for GNAT is less than happy. Certainly anybody who reads
bugtraq has to agree that using C in security-relevant code has its
dangers :-]
