I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but the new LLVM 3.0
has been out a few weeks, along with the new Ada front end

   http://dragonegg.llvm.org/

They say:

   Patching and building GCC is no longer required: the plugin should
   work with your system GCC (version 4.5 or 4.6; on Debian/Ubuntu
systems
   the gcc-4.5-plugin-dev or gcc-4.6-plugin-dev package is also
needed).

which sounds encouraging.
