I wouldn't take out another mortgage so I could buy it. I'm non-commercial use and for that they might as well be flipping me the bird.

I have 4.9.2 built on Solaris 11.1 x86. Years ago I stepped through several versions of gcc building up from a really old version that I had.
My point isn't that it can't be done but that it takes a lot of effort in general. I thank Simon for building and publishing it but it is a bit old - especially the ".0" is scary. Any semblance of "current" requires one to build their own - and it isn't a drop it in and hit go proposition (typical of gcc). The average developer is not going to spend that time to get it running.
I briefly tried 64bit but gcc is even more broken there. Solaris isn't a "chosen one" for gcc in general, not just Ada.
So I have a working Ada on Solaris, and on OSX, and even (thanks to Simon) an OSX cross to STM32F429I board. Still doesn't cover everything I play with (other ARM, larger AVR [yeh, I know I could get AVR-Ada]). But even if it did, the expense of time required to repeat this hunter/gather operation every couple of years as platforms evolve presents a big barrier to committing applications to it.
