Will this compiler work as (1) Ada 2005 on (2) PPC running (3) OS X
10.5?

I committed to supporting the PLplot bindings on both Ada 95 and Ada
2005, and I have about the last PPC Powerbook (laptop) sold by Apple
so I'm not eager to buy a new computer just to get a compiler that
runs on Intel. However, there has been no Ada 2005 compiler that runs
under OS X 10.5 on PPC architecture. (The MacAda group has not been
helpful in this regard.) As a result, I haven't been able to upgrade
to 10.5.

Does your build support 10.5 on PPC, or do you know of other builds
that will?
