Sort of..There was some announcement some time back that ACT was working
with one of the RtLinux vendors to do this.
http://www.gnat.com/texts/news/news_realtimelinux.htm

 I am sure that none of the public releases have this in it yet...However if
you contact act (www.gnat.com)
they can answer on the status of it...Of course to get it you would have to
be a paying customer but you would be getting a GPL compiler so in the GNU
sense if would be free...But I suspect what you are asking is can I download
one
today with no money and for that the answer is no...

Depending on what you want to do, you may be able to get by with Gnat 3.12p
for Linux and just run it on the Rt Kernel (I suspect getting some minimal
no
runtime no tasking within the RtKernel working would not be too hard at all)

Based on past experience, I would expect that at some point in the next few
years
you will be able to get a public release of the compiler from the NYU site..

Finally, the last option would be to see if you can get someone who is a
paying
customer of ACT to give you a copy (if it is out there somewhere)..
