Laurent Guerby and others are working on enhancing GNAT so that it
supports arm and armel as a target. Unfortunately, only SJLJ
exception handling works at the moment and SJLJ is both very slow and
non-standard on that architecture; the EABI mandates ZCX. See the
threads stating at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-08/msg00192.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg00450.html
It is not ready for use yet. I'm sure they'll welcome help.
