FWIW, there is a good GNUAda compiler, known as "GNAT"
(cf. www.gnat.com), which has, among others, real-live 
"GNU" folks as part of their development staff.

It has the usual download price of $0.00, with commercial support
contracts available from a company called "ACT" (analogous
to Cygnus for GCC).

There are also other freely-downloadable "personal" versions of 
Ada95 compilers as well; cf www.aonix.com and www.appletmagic.com.
