I suspect one could get that small enough to fit..Of course someone has to build a cross compiler first (or look into using JGNAT)...When I first got my palm a few years back I did sort of get a no runtime port to at least compile. (had a xgcc executable). I remeber running into many problems because the GCC patches for palm were for a much older version of GCC than GNAT was using...
