Is it possible to build an Ada cross-compiler for an 8-bit embedded target now that gcc 3.X has support for Ada?

Subject pretty much says it all.

Now that you can build an Ada compiler using gcc 3.X (well, according to the
build instructions of gcc 3.x :-)), I began to wonder whether it was
possible to build a cross-compiler for an 8-bit target processor. The 8-bit
processor family in question is already supported by gcc (I believe).

When I say "possible", I just mean "follow the cross-compiling instructions
and out pops an Ada compiler" - I don't mean, "spend months of work patching
various files and then you might have an Ada compiler" :-)

I would dearly like to convince some managers here that Ada is a reasonable
alternative to C/C++ for product development. I don't mind spending a lot of
my own time re-writing my current C code in Ada to help prove the point, but
I need the tools to at least contemplate giving it a go :-).

The cross-compiler would be built and run on a Windoze box (just answering
(one of) the obvious questions :-)).

Thanks
