I know of at least two initiatives in this area.  Oxxi software (an Amiga
software publisher) has stated that they are working on an Amiga Ada compiler
(native AmigaDos mode as far as I know).  This may be the same one or a 
different one than a rumor I picked up regarding Martin Taillefer (sp?) working
on an Amiga Ada compiler (Martin was largely responsible for the M2S Modula2
compiler for the Amiga).  In addition, according to Randy Brukardt, in an email
exchange I had with him, R.R. Software (Janus Ada), is considering producing
an Ada compiler for the Amiga.

The SVR4 run on the new Amiga 3000UX is supposed to be ABI compliant, so I
imagine an Ada compiler for this mode will be forthcoming.
