Since GCC targets the Palm, you can easily build the GCC Ada compiler
for the Palm, but without the run-time system.

However, 'pragma No_Run_Time' seems to be gone in current versions of
GNAT. I don't know if 'pragma Profile (Restricted)' will let you use
this compiler without a run-time.

You can find out at link time if you've written code that needs the
run-time. Just like C :).
