The libquadmath library is automatically build on such targets when building the Fortran compiler." So, I guess the summary of all this is: gfortran supports this library now directly, but to use it in Ada, more work would be needed by the user to interface to it (may be gnat needs also to also add support to allow user code to access this library as well). --Nasser
