The pioneers can always help those who follow later :-) In my copious (:-) free time, I have been trying to build GNAT targed for the ARM7TDMI process with the thumb instruction set. Since this target is not supported by GCC 2.8, but only in recent egcs trees, I do not have much choice. I have gotten basic code generation working, but I haven't worked far enough to link something together yet. The daunting task, is going to be the run time. At some point, I would like to put together the instructions about what I did to build all of this. Dave Brown
