Some time ago (~2 years) I already had a working Ada compiler for the ESP8266. but that was only the compiler itself, no run-time-system (RTS). I could successfully compile and link a Ada object file into my project. It was enough to simply state the --target at the configure steps of binutils and gcc.

I did not find the time and energy, however, to complete the project and publish my work. I had some problems with bugs and the available compiler versions at that time.
