We might have given you the wrong impression here.

Almost all the development work for Ada in FSF GCC is done by AdaCore; they
develop in-house, and do a major import from their own code into the GCC
code at the start of every major development milestone of GCC (that is,
4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.1 ...) and fix up problems during the GCC release
process.

What I've done is to build the FSF GCC releases for Mac. In the process
I've found a few bugs (and fixed some of them).

I've built GNAT GPL 2014 to cross-compile for ARM microcontrollers on
the Mac (AdaCore only provide Linux and Windows versions, I believe).
