You actually don't need to do this. You can go up to the .s files in the cross-environment (see the gnat-cross target) and then do the assemblies on the target. > So: Ada and Linux are not a good combination on the Alpha platform. A faculty member at NYU (not part of the GNAT project) built GNAT for Alpha/Linux using the above method back around 1994; it's not that hard.
