Well, a port to A/UX, by comparison to a port to the general System
7 (MacOS) environment, is trivial since A/UX provides all the components
that would have to be worked aroud for a port to MacOS, notably a shell.
You should be able to compile GNAT for A/UX in this way, but this
port will not work on macs not running A/UX.
