It would indeed be easy enough to port GNAT for a small microcontroller for which a GCC port exists (often the case), but so far we have not seen any credible evidence that such a port would make commercial sense. I doubt this situation will change in the forseeable future. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
