PolyORB does not support only Annex E. There is also a lot of efforts
put on the other personalities !

Besides, support for 3.16a1, 5.02a1 and GCC 3.4.0 concerns all
personalities, except Annex E (aka DSA). The integration of PolyORB
into GCC, to provide runtime support for Annex E, is in progress.

This should be also true for GNAT Pro and GAP, for some releases.

You will find here some (really old) rpms of PolyORB 1.0p

http://www.prz.rzeszow.pl/ada/en/GNAT-3.15p_rpms_EN.html

I do not know any binary distribution of PolyORB, except this one. 

The polyorb-users@ mailing list may provide more information on
building POlyORB if you contemplate packaging it.
