It was not compiling, but fixing/improving GNAT, I was worried about. Ludovic Brenta does a great job of compiling GNAT (and I even tried it myself once). What I am worried about is fixing errors in GNAT and extending GNAT to handle Ada2005. I am seriously afraid that _that_ is difficult. So far I've only sketched fixes for some errors in the GNAT implementation of the standard library. The actual compiler source code is huge enough to scare me away.
