Thanks Duncan, this is an outstanding contribution to the Ada community. Given that LLVM is already ahead of GCC in terms of code generation quality (sometimes, starting from zero and choosing another path is a competitive advantage), this looks very promising. Note that the GCC folks are happy with LLVM adding some competition in the open-source compilers arena. This is very motivating. The difficult task, as you already know, will be to keep the Ada front-ends in both compilers in sync. I wish you good luck with that!
