GNAT is included in the Raspbian OS for the Raspberry Pi.

ee9 was compiled on, and runs on, the Raspberry Pi.

When running ee9, the 32-bit, 700 MHz Raspberry Pi is 60-70 times
slower than my 64-bit, 2.3 GHz Core i7 Macbook Pro.

That still makes the emulation 4 to 5 times faster than the historic
KDF9 hardware.
