Our embedded projects need more than 2GB RAM to compile with GNAT. Even if
the compiler would not crash on Storage_Error, a native tool chain for a
tiny embedded target is not the way people would like to have it.

There is no such problem when using Atom or Geode (and Linux). But for ARM
(or an OS different from the host OS, like VxWorks) one needs a cross
compiler.

Which is why Atom and Geode have a huge potential for embedded Ada, IMO.
