Dave asks

"I'm sure this has been asked before but it GNAT capable
of being a cross compiler for an embedded system?
For example, source code lives on a Sun SPARC (Solaris) and
target is a Motorola 68020."

Yes, it is very definitely possible to build cross compilers using the
GNAT technology. One of our customers for example, just completed a
test flight of an aircraft whose avionics system used a cross-port
of GNAT to the Intel i960.

Ada Core Technologies does not provide off-the-shelf packaged solutions
for embedded applications of GNAT, but we are happy to work with customers
to develop and supprot such technologies. Please get in touch with
support@gnat.com for further details.
