Hi Jerry, I'm porting GNAT to it.  Most likely it will not be in the
next LLVM release, but in the one after that.  However it should be
possible to check out a development version in the near future.  I
will post an announcement here once something usable is publically
available.  It works quite well in my development tree, for example
all the ACATS tests pass except for a bunch of tasking tests (I don't
know why those fail yet).

Duncan.
