Just because the GNAT mac ports currently require machten, doesn't
mean that a native-mac port is out of reach... there are already GCC
ports to Mac that run under MPW (or there were a few years ago, before
the boycott ended - so they should be easier to find now.)

If you've got at least one unix-gcc wizard and one mac-wizard,
(preferably in the same body :-) you can probably make a good estimate
of what it would take to get GNAT to use that gcc support (I don't
actually know if it is up-to-date in the current FSF release.) Then
the big challenge is the Ada Runtime; again, look at the example gnat
ones and figure out how/if yo can do that kind of thing under macos...
