I was also puzzled by the answer regarding the ARM port. AdaCore did have a (customer sponsored) ARM port a few years ago (see http://web.archive.org/web/20101201035019/http://www.adacore.com/home/products/gnatpro/supported_platforms/ via the Wayback machine) but they eventually withdrew it after the sponsor chose not to use it after all (or so I heard). AdaCore currently supports the ARM processor in the Lego Mindstorms robot with GNAT GPL.
