I don't know what you call "anything else", but it was quite easy to
"port" GNAT to Linux. Linux is a freeware UNIX system for 386/486 PCs,
mostly POSIX compliant.  You copy the GNAT Sparc distribution onto the
official GCC distribution, reconfigure and make like:

% ./configure --host=sun-sparc-sunos4.1.3 --target=i386-unknown-linux
% make gnat1

and you get a Linux executable gnat1. (you have to set up a cross
assembler and a crosslinker beforehand, of course) I tested it by
recompiling gnat1 again on the Linux PC. Seems to work OK. For more
information on crosscompiling read the info files about GCC. I doubt
that there already is a port of GCC to Windows-NT. So you will be on
your own.
