I don't know of any widespread use, or a poular compiler. I remember
seeing books on ADA/370, which I guess is an IBM Ada compiler. When I saw
these books, there was no Ada95, and I don't think the compiler was ever
upgraded. I am sure IBM will know more.

With OpenEdition MVS (also know as Unix System Services), you can use gcc.
This suggests that GNAT could be ported. If you try this approach, I
suggest asking on the MVS-OE mailing list. They are very helpful.
