It might make sense if you are planning to migrate a large C application to
Ada in a step-wise fashion.  Getting the application into Ada first and then
re-designing and coding subsets of the system incrementally allows such a
migration that includes having a running system at each step of the process.

I have experienced this benefit in moving a few moderate sized Pascal
programs to Ada.  Although I admit that the move from Pascal to Ada is much
less of a step than from C to Ada.
