Since there is not an available compiler for Ada on Xscale, you'll
have to port one. Does GCC support C on Xscale (on any OS)? If so, you
can get a non-tasking Ada pretty quickly by porting GNAT. If the OS
you choose has a Posix thread interface, you can get tasking pretty
quickly as well.
If you decide to try porting GNAT, you should definitely contact Ada
Core (www.gnat.com). They might have other customers interested in
Xscale, and you could share their work.
