Actually I think there is no big problem in using GNAT in an environment
in which floating-point needs to be simulated. It's not a big task to
provide for emulating floating-point. We didn't do it yet, because
we have not encountered a customer interested in such a product
(interested means more than just saying on CLA that you are interested!)
