Point me at the GNAT makefile and I'll set up a basic mpw-make.sed.
I've done enough now that it's pretty easy to write a new one.

Depends on how the GNAT makefile is set up. The base GCC makefile
editor is the most complicated of all the makefile sed scripts I've had
to write, and it's been changed 10 times in the past year, of which
4-5 were to track GCC makefile changes (internal Cygnus versions of
FSF code are more turbulent than released versions).

MPW *is* Apple's officially supported programming environment. Even
with its limitations, it can do many tricks that the IDEs can only
dream of, such as building MacOS itself...
