  I'm curious to know if any of the Ada compiler vendors are working
on an Ada compiler for the Advanced Risc Machines ARM processor.
With the upcoming advent of the ARM10 which has a vectored floating
point math coprocessor option, it would seem to be a natural for
the larger embedded math heavy applications that have minimal power
consumption and cooling requirements.  There is a gcc port for the
earlier generation ARMs so a GNAT variant should be readily do-able.
Till then I guess the Avenstar (Intermetrics) C to Ada compiler is
the only option.
