Hello! Any news on this (or the whole thread)? I'm just starting to
tinker with homebrew for the nintendo DS, for which there is a nice C/C
++ toolchain [1], and I was wondering how hard would be to get a gnat
crosscompiler to ARM.

I see it's no way trivial, so I also wonder if

1) would it be easy without the runtime (pragma No_Run_Time)?
1.b) How useful is gnat without the runtime? I more or less get what
wouldn't be available, but cannot find a exhaustive listing in the
docs (besides that No_Run_Time is not even recommended anymore,
deprecated in favor of customizing the runtime).
