There is something available along the lines of "GWUAda" for the Mac,
in that it generates code which is then interpreted.  The product,
"AppletMagic(tm)," generates Java byte-codes from Ada 95.  A version
for the Mac is available for download at:

   http://www.inmet.com/javadir/download/

It can build both Java-compatible applets and applications.

There is also a version of GNAT which run's on top of Tenon's MachTen
for the Mac.  This version of GNAT is freely available, but Tenon's MachTen
is a commercial product.
