I'm planning a project (possibly an undergraduate/masters one) to port
Ada to a new processor.

We have a processor simulator we use in teaching, with a simple
architecture.  I'm planning a port of the gcc back end for assembler
generation from gcc (along with assembler and linker ports).

My colleague's eyes lit up at the thought of an Ada port (we can use
this platform for teaching embedded systems).

Assuming I have
	gcc backend (assembler generation
	as port
	ld port
from gcc and binutils

What do I need to do to have an Ada port?
Are there library sources that need porting?

many thanks
