SofCheck provides a complete run time mostly in Ada with some C. Certain 
aspects of it need to be ported to your target platform but in principle, 
assuming your target is capable, you could compile full Ada onto your target 
after doing the necessary porting (and compiling the run time system as 
well, of course).
