GNAT - GCC which version to use?

GNAT - GCC which version to use?

[Mark]

I would like to experiment with some Ada code on either Windows or
Linux. Does MingW GCC 3.2 support Ada yet? How about GCC 3.3 on Linux?
We use commercial compilers at work and I haven't kept up with GNAT.

  thanks in advance

Both should have Ada yes. Note however that the porting to the GCC 3.x
backend is not finished and there are still bugs, so you might in stead
want to use Gnat 3.15p in the mean time. You'll find it from here:

   I need to interface with both C standard library functions and
other C libraries and functions.  Is this doable from Gnat 3.15p? 
(Compile C code and Ada code and link together)
