Thanks!  I'm very interested in this as well.  Some of my folks tried
pretty hard and could not get it to work, but that was 2 versions of
gcc ago.  We could build a cross-compiler, but never a usable runtime,
so we gave up.  I wrote AdaCore asking what it would cost for them to
do the work and received no reply.
