Fergus asks
<<Is this a limitation of the gcc backend (and hence also of GNU C, GNU C++,
GNU Fortran, etc.), or is this specific to the GNAT front-end?>>
It is a fundamental limitation, and nothing to do with the front end
or the backend. All these compilers generate floating-point instructions
for floating-point operations.
These will only work correctly on machines that either have hardware
floating-point (true incidentally of essentially all currently available
x86 chips), or software systems which provide floating-point emulation.
