Has anyone ported GNAT to FreeBSD (any version) or NetBSD?

I've not heard of this (I asked this question many months ago).  I'd
be interested myself.  I'm starting to hear more and more that
FreeBSD is more stable than Linux (haven't made a direct comparison
myself, so I'm personally reserving judgement).

If somebody hears something and replies to Karl. please add me to the
list.

I have successfully ported GNAT-1.83 and GNAT-2.00 to FreeBSD-1.1.5.
The appropriate binaries are available on

	ftp.ims.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/unix/FreeBSD/gnat-*

(or soon will be).

Note that I lately have started packaging them as NetBSD-static
binaries, since those binaries run on all *BSD systems and allow you
to recompile your own binaries from source.

Another note: include /usr/local/GNU/bin in your path first, since the
gnat binder relies on the proper gcc to be invoked. If it's /usr/bin/gcc
it barfs.

Thanks for your work on this.  Someone told me of your 1.83 port a few
days after I posted the above; I installed it and was able to build 2.00
from src a few days ago.

Thanks for making your initial port available!
