If your development platform is Linux or Windows, you should be able to
download a compiler.  No need to build it yourself.

I have experimented with Ada on an Arduino device.  I don't think the
run-time for the Arduino gives you tasking, but it worked quite well for
my experiments, and I expect to use Arduinos for commercial projects in
the near future.

Greetings,

Jacob
