The 4.0.x Ada compiler has been regularly tested on PowerPC and SPARC too (apart from being interested in Ada, I'm also a SPARC maintainer) so it shouldn't be that broken on non-x86 platforms. However it is true that RISC platforms are more demanding than x86, at least as far as Ada is concerned. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21937
