GNAT has a front end written in Ada 95, and a backend written
in traditional C.

Ada Magic (the Intermetrics front end) is written in ANSI C.
Backends for the compilers using this front end are written
in either C or Ada.

I believe Rational Ada is written in Ada 83, though probably
quite a bit of Ada 95 is there now (can someone from Rational
give details).

To complete this picture, we need information for the other
existing Ada 95 compilers (DDCI, Irvine, OCS, ....)
